The descendants of the two brothers, Wright and Moses Cham- 
berlin, Sr., who were early settlers of Gibson township, Sus- 
quehanna County, Pennsylvania, had become so scattered that 
the few descendants remaining in the county knew but little if 
anything about the other branches of the family. Therefore in 
the early nineties (1800) the descendants of James, Wright, 
Asher, Ix)dusky and Charles of Wright Chamberlin’s family de- 
cided to make an attempt to organize and hold yearly meetings 
in hopes of getting better acquainted and creating a stronger 
family interest. Accordingly, a meeting was held in August, 
1892, at the home of S. Orville Chamberlin of Gibson, but as 
so few were present, no officers were elected. In no degree 
daunted, they met again in August, 1893, at the same place with 
a much larger attendance, including representatives of each of 
the aforenamed branches and the following officers were 
elected : — President, Moses Chamberlin of Harford, Penn. ; Vice- 
Presidents, Eugene E. Weston of Taylor and Mrs. Emily 
Sweetser of Scranton; Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs. Edwin A. 
Weston of Brooklyn, Penn. 

The following year the ranks were joined by Mrs. Huldah 
Brown and several descendants of Levi Chamberlin of Wright’s 
family and by Mr. and Mrs. Williston Chamberlin of Moses 
Chamberlin’s family. In each of the following years, repre- 
sentatives of other families have met with us while others who 
are unable to come, send greetings and express regrets that they 
cannot be with us. 

After attending two of these yearly gatherings, the desire to 
learn how many living descendants of Wright Chamberlin, Sr., 
there were, coupled with the necessity of giving up my former 
vocation and remaining at home, led me to undertake the task. 
My inquiries brought far more data than I could get on the 
simple outline which I, at first, intended to use and although I 
had repeatedly said I could not write up a full record of the 
family, I have been crowded to the task by the enthusiasm of 
the Wright-Chamberlin Clan. 

Through the aid of Capt. Orville T.® Chamberlain [Joseph 
W.,2 Milo^ — Wright,® Moses/ Nathaniel^] of Elkhart, Indiana, 


PEEFACE 


and the research made by Joseph Edgar ® Chamberlin [ Abner, ^ 
Joseph^ — Joseph,® Eichard,^ Nathaniel®] of Newbury, Ver- 
mont, I obtained the Chamberlin record back to 1642, and by 
the aid of Frederick P. Wells of Newbury, Vermont, author of 
the history of that township, I have obtained the Wright ances- 
tors back three generations in England and a clue to the de- 
scendants of Eemembrance and Asher Chamberlin who were 
brothers of the aforenamed Wright and Moses Chamberlin of 
Gibson, Penn. 

I have inserted but few portraits, most of which were sent me 
by relatives outside their immediate family. I then thought 
to get others, that we might see if there existed any family re- 
semblance in the different branches; but soon afterward was, 
by unavoidable circumstances, compelled to lay aside all work 
upon the record for nearly four years. I then decided to bring 
it to a close with what material I had at hand, while some, at 
least, of the contributors remained to see the result of our united 
efforts. 

All honor is due to my generous co-operators, as no one 
person can accomplish much in genealogical work by work- 
ing alone and you will better comprehend the interest taken 
by the Wright-Chamberlin Clan as you peruse the pages that 
follow. While many have sent me the record of their respective 
families, many more have furnished the record of collateral fam- 
ilies thus greatly helping to make these pages what they are 
with but little extra exertion on my part. 

To each and every one who have contributed to this book 
or helped in any way, I extend my most sincere thanks. 

E. Miena Barber.

EXPLANATION 


From the most remote ancestor of each family, found, to the 
children of the union of the Wright and Chamberlin families, I 
have followed only our direct line; but for the descendants of 
these children I have, as far as possible, followed all lines to the 
youngest, numbering the generations of each line from their pro- 
genitor in the union family which were of the 5th generation in 
America of the Chamberlin family and the 6th generation of 
the Wright family. 

To find your generation number in America in the Chamber- 
lin family, add your generation number given in your section to 
5, the generation number of your progenitor, in the Chamberlin 
line of the Wright-Chamberlin family and for your generation 
number in the Wright family add it to 6, the generation num- 
ber of your progenitor in the Wright line of the Wright-Cham- 
herlin family.

PATEKNAL ANCESTOES

EICHAED ^ CHAMBEELINE of Braintree, Massachusetts, 
is first mentioned in New England in the Eegister of Births 
and Burialls in Braintree from the yeare 1637 until the first 
month of 1644 wherein is recorded the birth of his son Richard 
19 d ;|^Qm 2642 and the same child^s death 25 December following. 

He removed to Roxbury, Mass., where he is mentioned in the 
Roxbury land grant, supposed by historians to have been made 
about 1655. He was granted “ an house and halfe an acre of 
land, more or lesse, adjoining to it, abutting east upon M^ John 
Eliot’s and upon Tobias Davis on the south side of it.” (1) 

At this place the following children were baptized: Ben- 
jamin, J oseph, Mary, Rebecca, and Ann, — all baptized 4 June, 
1665, and Mehitable, 28 January, 1666. The name of his first 
wife is unknown. At this time he had his second wife who was 
Sarah, daughter of Edward and Rebecca Bugbee of Roxbury. 
She came over with her parents in the ship Francis, from Ips- 
wich, County of Suffolk, England, in 1634, at the age of four 
years. Sarah, wife of Richard Chamberline, was admitted to 
full communion in ye church on 28^ 3“ 1665.” (2) 

Edward Bugbee made his will 26 November, 1668, and in it

he mentions daughter Sarah, the wife of Eichard Cham- 
berline.” (1) 

In 1667, Eichard Chamberline sold his land in Eoxbury and 
removed to Sudbury, Mass., where he purchased 60 acres of 
land (at the present village of Wayland) of William Ward of 
Marlboro for which he received his deed 6 November, 
1668. (2) 

He married as his third wife, 30 March, 1671-2, Elizabeth 
Jaques of Sudbury; made his will 12 February, 1673, and died 
before 15 April, following, as his will was probated at that 
time. (3) 

When his property was apprised at settlement of the estate, 
the valuations: house and lands £102; clothes, £5; plow, cart 
and tackling, £3 10s., etc.; one iron pot and two pot-hooks, 
trowel, tongs, fire-pan, mustard bowl, ete., £1 6s. 6d. (4) 

To have lived by the side of the great Apostle of the Indians 
(John Eliot) was, in itself, an inspiration which Mr. Cham- 
berline transmitted to his posterity, even though both of his 
sons were compelled to take up arms against the tribes under 
King Philip in 1675.

JOSEPH, son of Eichard and Sarah (Bugbee) Chamberline 
was, probably, bom at Eoxbnry, Mass., as he was baptized at 
John Eliot’s church in Eoxbnry 4 June, 1655. He removed 
from Eoxbnry to Sudbury with his father’s family in 1667-8. 

In 1675, he enlisted in Captain Jonathan Poole’s Company, 
probably, at Concord, Mass. This company marched to Hadley 
and Hatfield, Mass., and defended the latter from an attack of 
the Indians on 19 October, 1675. He took part in the Swamp 
Eight” in December of the same year. On 25 January, 1676, 
he received £1 4s. for his services under Captain Poole. He re- 
enlisted in the company commanded by Captain William Turner 
7 April, 1676. This company was in the celebrated Fall 
Fifirht” which occurred 19 May, 1676, at the place which has 
ever since been known as ‘‘ Turners Palls.” He was at the 
garrison in Westfield, Mass., 24 August, 1676, and received £14 
8s. for his services. (1) 

In 1676, he returned to Sudbury where 28 August, 1682, he 
married Hannah Gilbert and although he sold his farm in Sud- 
bury in 1703 he remained there until 1713 when, with his elder 
brother, Benjamin, and his eight children he removed to Oxford, 
Mass., where he bought 40 acres of land of Joseph Dudley of 
Eoxbury. (2) (3) (4)

The town of Oxford had been founded late in the preceding 
century by French Huguenots but deserted by them and the 
successors of the original grantees of the town brought in thirty 
English families to found a new town. Of Joseph’s children 
Nathaniel, Ebenezer, and Joseph Jr. were of age and took up 
land with the other proprietors of Oxford. 

To Joseph Chamberlin Sr., was assigned an important lot on 
" Bondetts ” or Prospect Hill ” which included the “ Great 
House,” it being the house formerly occupied by the famous 
French Huguenot, Eev. Daniel Bondett, who with his thirty 
families had failed to establish their settlement in Ox- 
ford. (5) 

Joseph Chamberlin Sr., was a member of the first board of 
selectmen of Oxford. He died 8 August, 1721. His wife Han- 
nah was a member of the church of Sudbury before 1706 and 
died before him. 

His will dated 24 March, 1721, wherein he calls himself a 
yeoman, is recorded in the Suffolk County Wills,” Vol. 22, p. 
500. By this instrument his son Joseph is given twenty-five 
acres of land and another lot of twelve acres and sons Benjamin 
and Simon (who are named as executors), his lands, messuages, 
and tenements, subject to legacies to be paid to other heirs: to 
Sybela Pocket, his grand-daughter, a cow; to Elizabeth, daugh- 
ter of his son Nathaniel, a cow; before eight years; to grandson 
Eichard^ Chamberlin, son of his son Nathaniel £10 when the 
said Eichard is sixteen years old; to grandson Nathan Kennie, 
son of Nathan Kennie, sometime of Oxford, £10 when fifteen 

years old; to daughter Eebecca within two years, ; son 

Ebenezer, £5 when in need of the same; grand-child Patience, 
daughter of son Joseph, a cow within five years of his decease; 
to son Joseph, blackish gray mare ; to daughter Hannah Eockett, 
his gray mare; to son Nathaniel, his heirs and assigns, the first 
colt that comes of said gray mare, which the said Hannah is 
to keep till the said colt is a year old; to son Benjamin, young 
black horse colt; to Simon, his youngest son, his bay mare; and 
said Simon is ordered to give the first colt from said mnre to 
Benjamin. 

The entire property was appraised at £306 13s. 6d., of which 
£220 was for homestead and buildings, 10 shillings for books, 
£4 4s. 6d. for pewter and brass and £3 5s. for three guns.

and his wife Hannah, Benjamin Chamberlin and Simon Cham- 
berlin (children of this Joseph) conveyed to their brother 
Joseph of Keehamoochaug all their rights in their father’s lots 
laid out or to be laid out to ye soldiers which were in ye fight 
commonly called ye Harragansett or Swamp Fight/^

ISTATHAHIEL,^ son of Joseph and Hannah (Gilbert) Cham- 
berlin was born in Sudbury (the present village of Wayland), 
Mass., in 1689. He went with his father to Oxford in 1713 
and took up land there with the original (English) proprietors, 
being assigned a house-lot adjoining his uncle Benjamin’s on 
the north, the same extending from the present Common in 
Oxford, south to Sigourney street, the house being on the same 
site as the one occupied in 1892 by Mrs. Hyde. (4) 

He was twice married: 1st at Oxford 31 March, 1714, to 
Elizabeth, sister of Thomas Hunkin of Boxford, Mass. She 
was baptized at Boxford 24 February, 1706, being then an adult. 
She died before 11 April, 1737, on which date his wife was 
Martha. 

Nathaniel Chamberlin and his wife Elizabeth were constitu- 
ent members of the church at Oxford where he lived until 1722, 
when he sold his property and removed to Hatfield. In Father 
Ealles War” in 1725, he enlisted in Captain Dwight’s Company 
and was stationed at Drummer (near present Brattleboro), Ver- 
mont. 

On the 11 September, 1725, “ a scout of six men was sent 
out from Fort Drummer by Captain Dwight, and when eight 
miles west of North River, while eating their lunch, about 2 
o’clock, they discovered some Indians on their track, within 
eight rods of them. They jumped up and ran seven or eight 
rods, when the Indians made a shot at them, and they turned 
and shot at the Indians. Two of the latter were seen to fall. 
The soldiers scattered. Thomas Bodurtha of Springfield and 
John Reese of Enfield were killed. Edw- Baker of Suffield, 
John Farrar of Ashford and Nathaniel Chamberlain of Hat- 
field were taken prisoners. Anthony Weirsburg, only, escaped 
and returned to the Fort.” (5)

After his escape from captivity, Nathaniel went to Northfield, 
Mass., a frontier settlement on the Connecticut. In the records 
of the town meetings of Northfield, entry is made that on 4 
March, 1728, ‘liberty of a small piece of land is granted to 
Nathaniel Chamberlain for his use this year to set up a house 
and garden spot, up in the Lane as is by the side of Ensign 
Zechariah Field’s house lot as its going down to the upper gate, 
or else upon the front of the street against the front of Ensign 
Field’s lot.” (1) 

Nathaniel Chamberlin was at Arlington (now Winchester), 
New Hampshire, in 1743, at Deerfield in 1744, at Fall Town 
in 1755; but must have returned to Northfield in this year as 
he was among the men belonging to Northfield and vicinity in 
the Crown Point Expedition in 1755, and was one of the men 
in the garrison at Northfield in the last French and Indian War, 
and in 1759 was among the enlisted men in Colonel Is William’s 
regiment. He died at Northfield 7 November, 1780, and the 
church record states: ‘‘He left a good name behind him.” 
His children were: 

I. Kichard,^ born July 9, 1714; married Abigail, daughter of 
Eemembrance Wright. (For further data, see Part 
Third, p. 272.

DEACON SAMUEL " WRIGHT of Springfield and North- 
ampton, the earliest known ancestor in America, was formerly 
supposed to have been the son of Nathaniel ^ Wright who came 
to America in the interest of the Winthrop Colony but later 
genealogists believe he was Samuel,^ son of John* and Emfell 
( ) Wright of Wrightsbridge, County Essex, England, there- 

fore half-brother of Nathaniel^ Wright of London. (1) 

He was born in England and is believed to have married there. 

His wife^s name was Margaret (surname unknown). She 

died in Northampton, July 24, 1681. 

Dea. Sam^l Wright’s name first appears in the town records 
of Springfield, Mass., December 12, 1639, when he was jury- 
man. He was deacon of the first church of Springfield and used 
to exhort the people and conduct the meetings on the Sabbath 
when there was no minister. He is recorded as a proprietor of 
Springfield in 1641, and a freeman April 13, 1648; but re- 
moved to Northampton, A. D. 1655,” and was among the first 
settlers of that town. He was employed by the town to con- 
duct divine services part of the time in 1656 and 1657, in the 
absence of the minister and died October 17, 1665, while sleep- 
ing in his chair. (2) 

His will dated November 10, 1663, and probated March 27, 
1667, besides bequests to his wife, Margaret and children Sam- 
uel, Mary, Margaret, Hester and Lydia contained the following : 

For-as-much as my two sons have jointly carried on the 
work about a new house, my will is y^ James does still help to 
finish y® house till it be made comfortable to live in, likewise my 
will is y*^ in consideration my son J ames has y® house and house- 
lot, y^ he pay to his brother Judah fifteen pounds — the manner 
of paying this fifteen pounds to my son Judah, to be five pounds 
a year in cash till all be paid.” 

This homestead, situated a few rods northeasterly from 

Meeting-house Hill ” which was granted to Dea. Samuel 
Wright about 1657 and willed by him to his son James continued 
in the line of this son’s descendants until 1799, a period of 
about 142 years.

SAMUEL,^ son of Dea. Samuel ^ and his wife Margaret 

( ) Wright, born about 1629; was one of the petitioners 

to the General Court for the First settlement of Northfield, then 
known as Squakheag, May 31, 1671. He was a resident of 
Northampton, Mass., at this time. The first petition was re- 
fused and another one was sent the next spring signed by 23 
men including Samuel Wright Senior.” This petition was 
granted and he was one of the sixteen heads of families who 
took house-lots and settled there. His lot was on the west side 
of the street “ which they or their heirs had in the second set- 
tlement.” 

The Indians continued friendly until spring of 1675. Brook- 
field was destroyed in August of that year. (King Philip’s 
War.) A squad of twenty soldiers was sent by Major Pynchon 
to garrison Northfield who were put under command of Ser- 
geant Samuel Wright. A battle between Hatfield Indians and 


SERGT. SAMUEL^ WRIGHT 


11 


Captains and Beers was fought in town of Whately Au- 

gust 25. September 1st the Indians fell upon Deerfield and 
Thursday, September 2d, on Northfield. It was the season of 
drying flax ; and ignorant of what had happened the day before 
to their neighbors at Deerfield, the people of Northfield went 
about their work as usual on that morning. The soldiers and 
settlers appeared to have been scattered in the meadow and 
house-lots when the assault was made. According to Eev. Mr. 
Hubbard some were killed in their homes, others as they were 
coming out of the meadows, the rest : men, women, and children 
fled to their fort, unable to rally out and repel the enemy. The 
savages kept around them, killed many of their cattle, destroyed 
their grain (wheat which was harvested and in the stook) burnt 
the houses that were outside the stockade and laid all waste. 
The number of whites officially reported as killed was eight and 
one was Sergt. Samuel Wright.” 

After another attack by the Indians on September 4, the 
Squakheag families having thus been driven from their new 
homes returned to their old homes in Hadley and Northampton. 

In the second settlement of Squakheag or Northfield in 1685 
to 90, Samuel WrighCs heirs were assigned 60 acres. The home- 
stead of this Samuel Wright who went to Northampton with his 
father had continued in his line from 1657 until the compilation 
of the New England Historical and Genealogical Register in 
1886. 

He married, November 24, 1653, Elizabeth, daughter of 
Henry Burt who was a companion of Dea. Samuel Wright in 
the settlement of Springfield. She survived him and married, 
2d, September 26, 1684, Nathaniel Dickinson of Hatfield. 

'their children were : 

I. Samuel,^ born October 3, 1654; was a carpenter. He 
was wounded at the time his father was killed and as 
late as 1703 still carried the bullet in his thigh. In 
1703, the general Court granted him a pension of £10 
per annum for life. He married, January 3, 1678, 
Sarah, daughter of John Lyman who died April 4, 1733, 
aged 76 years. He died November 29, 1734. They had 
eight children. 

n. Joseph,^ born June 2, 1657; lived at Northampton; mar- 
ried, November 6, 1679, Ruth, daughter of Isauc Shel- 
don. He died February 16, 1697, and she married 2d, 
October 28, 1698, Samuel Stacy.

BENJAMIN^® son of Sergt. Samuel® and Elizabeth (Burt) 
Wright, born July 13, 1660; was a grantee of Northfield, Mass., 
in 1682 and settled there in 1685. He returned to that place 
at the permanent or third settlement, being one of the eight 
grantees out of twenty who went upon their land the first year 
and was one of the thirteen signers of the Articles of Agree- 
ment ” for Northfield, drawn up April 14, 1714. 

When the town measured and apportioned to each man his 
share of the common fence about the Great Meadow,” March 
31, 1716, Capt. Benjamin Wright had the largest portion of 
any — 36 rods, 12 feet, 6 inches. Later he was appointed to 
maintain the watercourse at the south end of the meadow, in 
consideration of eight rods’ abatement of his portion of fence 
which, at this time, was 44 rods, etc. October 3, 1716, he was 
chosen one of a committee of three' to order and inspect, to 
appoint and procure workmen and material, and make an ac- 
count of all service and expense in building a house for the min-

ister. The house to be 16 x 12 feet.” On March 3, 1718, he 
was one of a committee appointed to furnish necessities for min- 
ister; also one of a committee to see about building a meeting- 
house. 

March 4, 1717, Capt. Benj. Wright was appointed surveyor 
of highway and December 17th of same year, he and Ensign Z. 
Field were authorized to take the list of polls, lands, etc., for 
levying the first town tax. He paid for two polls (12s.) and 
£4 8s. on land. 

As an Indian fighter, he was one of the most active and led 
several scouting parties toward Canada, scalp-hunting. On July 
15, 1697, a party was fired upon at Hatfield and three killed; 
whereupon a party of fourteen men under command of Benja- 
min Wright went in pursuit. They found the Indians at Ver- 
non, Vt., where they killed two and rescued the prisoners. 
Joseph Hawley and Joseph Parson were sent to Albany to give 
an account of the affair and Mr. Wright with four others were 
sent with them as a guard. 

During Queen Anne’s French and Indian War, the Connecti- 
cut valley was the scene of several Indian massacres. The first 
blow was the massacre at Deerfield, February 29, 1704, and on 
May 13 of the same year, the Indians fell upon Pascommuch, 
a hamlet of five families, comprising 33 persons, then within 
the limit of Northampton, Mass., but a part of the present site 
of Mount Tom village. A spring freshet was on and the at- 
tacking party did not anticipate any interference from North- 
ampton. The invaders, numbering 75, made the attack at day- 
break before the settlers had risen. While the main attack was 
in progress a detachment of ten Indians invested the only house 
at Lower Farms (Smith’s Ferry) occupied by Capt. Wright who 
refused to surrender and broke the arm of one of the Indians 
with a shot. His house was fired by the Indians’ arrows spiked 
and dipped in brimstone; but the fire was extinguished by his 
nephew who wrapped himself in a feather bed and brought water 
from the well. 

In February, 1708, Capt. Wright led a party of English and 
Indians up the Connecticut Eiver to Coos (territory including 
the present township of Newbury, Orange Co., Vt.), and was 
gone nine weeks without seeing the face of an enemy. (1)

the event from the lips of the survivors, by Ebenezer Grant, was 
printed from the original in an appendix to the Narrative of 
the Captivity of Steven Williams” in 1889. The date, how-

Capt. Benjamin Wright’s Scout. 

‘^Eever^ Sir — After Due Eegards these May Inform you 
what Lieut. Childs and Mr. Hoit related to me concerning the 
travails of Capt. Write & his Company toward Canada & w^ 
happened to them about that time it is as follows — 

Capt. Write & a Small Company of men designing for Can- 
ada to destroy y® enemy in y® beginning of April 1710, [1709] 
we then set out from Deerfield in Number containing 16, and 
travailed up Connecticut Eiver which is usually Called 120 Miles. 
There we discovered two Bark Canos by reason of that our 
Capt. was pleased to Leave 6 of his men to Ly in wait of y® 
Canos Supposing Some Indians would Come there. And then 
the Capt. with y® Lewt. & y® rest of y® men set forward 
up y® White Eiver taking y® Nor west Branch, following it up 
to the Head then we Steared to French Eiver & travailing down 
s^ Eiver till we Came to y® 3*^ Falls & we built two Canoes & 
then set out for the Lake & when we came there the wind was 
so high y^ we were forced to lye by a Day or too. After that 
one Evening we espied a fire y® opposite Side. Supposing it to 
be Indian we then forthwith Im bark & Steared our Course 
towards the fire and while we was upon y® water, there arose a 
terrible Storm of thunder & Lightening which put out the fire 
y^ we before espied & thro Gods Goodness we all got safe to 
land &. Drawing up our Canos upon y® Land turned them up for 
Shelter till next morning & then we making search for the fire 
that we afore espied & found it had only been y® woods on fire. 
After that we set out for Canada in our Canoes on y® west side 
of the Lake till two hours by sun at night & then the wind arose 
again which forced us to lye by till next day in y® afternoon & 
then we set out for Shamble & coming to a pount of land near 
Fortlemote, we espied 2 Canos of Indians in number 8, coming 
toward us then we paddled to Land & running up y® bank, by 
this time those indians Canos was got against us, & then we 
gave them a Salutation out of the mussel of our guns turned 
one overboard & we still continued firing caused y“ to paddle 
aw;ay w*^ all Speed & left y*^ fellow Swimming about & when they 
had got out of y® reach of our guns both Canos got together 
and all got into one, & left y® other w*^ Considerable plunder in 
it & when they was moved off we maned out one of our Canos

and fetched in theirs. And he that was Swimming about we 
Called to Shore to ns. Arid Lent. Childs killed him & some of 
y® men scalped him. And by Information that we had after- 
wards by the Captives y^ were then in Canada three were killed 
at the Same Time. And after that Skirmish, we made the best 
of onr way homeward & Came to y® French Eiver after Dark, 
and so proceeded all that night np y® French Eiver till we Come 
to the Falls, and there we Left onr Canos and took onr Packs 
npon onr Backs and travailed homewards np y® Eiver, and com- 
ing to a Crook that was in the river; we Left y® river & took 
y® nearest Cntt acrost y^^ Elbow and so come to y® river again, 
which was abont nine of y® clock that morning & there we espied 
a Canoa coming down 3 ^ river with fonr Indians in it and a 
captive-man, which was taken at Exeter named William Moody. 
We immediately fired on them and killed 2 the first shoot & 
wonnded y® 3*^ & y® 4^*^ Jnmped ont & Swam to y® Contrary Shore 
then onr Capt. ordered some of his men to tarry there & fire 
at him when he got to Shore and they did so, & afterwards we 
was Informed y* he was so wonnded, that in a few days after 
he got to Canada, died. Now the rest of the men followed y® 
Canoe as it fell Down Stream, and the Capt. Called to the Cap- 
tive to paddle y® Canoe to Land, bnt he replied he conld not 
becanse the wonnded Indian wonld not Let him, with that the 
Capt. hollowed to him & bid him knock him in y® head, with that 
he took np a hatchet to Do it bnt y® Indian rising np took hold 
of y® hatchet & got it away from him and then catched np the 
paddle & Laid it on his head & they sknffled together tnrned 
over the Canoe and parted in the water & the Indian Swam to 
the Contrary Shore. As he got ont of the water we pined him 
to the Bank with seven Bnllets. The Captive also Swimming 
toward ns, bnt being very weak fell down a great pace & Cried

upon, and 2 above, having been at Exeter took 4 captives (men) 
which they there had with them and those 2 canos y^ was passed 
by was y® Indians y^ made y® first shoot upon us. And we also 
received Several Shoots from those y^ were above us, which 
Landed on y® other side of the Kiver. How we being under no 
advantage to defend ourselves we every one made y® best of our 
way and shirked for ourSelves & in a short Time Capt Write 
& 5 of his men got together, three more yet missing. The next 
day came 2 more to us where we hid some of our Provisions & 
there waiting some hours for the other man. But he came not 
while we tarried there where as Capt Write thinking best to 
leave a Suitable quantity of Provisions and other neceseries in 
Case he ever came it might be of service to him in his journey 
homeward. It being one John Burt of Horthamton. Then 
seting forward on our journey homewards & Came to our Canoas 
that we left on White Eiver then we got into them & came down 
y® river to y® mouth of it, where we left 6 men formally men- 
tioned in our History. And finding them gone, then we set 
forward homeward & after we had got home, those six men 
formally mentioned Informed us w^ they had Litt of 6 days 
after we left them. These 6 men espied a Cano of 2 Indians 
Coming Down the Eiver & called to them not knowing but 
that they was Scattocooks but they refused to come to them & 
paddled to the contrary shore. Then they fired wounding one, 
but they getting to the shore Left y® Canoa & plunder. After 
that y® men made y® best of their way home And some Time after 
they were got home wa& Informed y^ they were Scattocooks. 

How returning to our former Story, having an account of two 
of those Captives y‘ were with y® indians that we Litt of on y® 
french river, are now returning home, & gave us an account y^ 
we then killed 4 Indians. And Moody that we had taken from 
them we Lost again, we being then in such a fright, every one 
took to his heels. But moody being so weak & feeble was not 
able to follow, now after this the Indians all gathered together 
on the other Shore & Moody seeing them hallowed to them to 
fetch him over & one came & after they had got him over they 
Burnt him on the Spot. 

We was informed also y* w“ the Indians got to Canada they 
Burnt one more of these Captives Andrew Gilman by name.

In a petition to the general Court of May 28th, 1709, the 
survivors say concerning the affair on the lake : — 

We judge we killed 4 of the enemy & one in special. One 
we got and scalped him, which scalp we now present.” 

Col. Partridge, in forwarding this paper, says : They also 

declare that they are very certain that they killed 4 as above 
& that on French River they killed 4 more — 8 in all. This they 
affirm to me.” 

DeVaudreuil, giving an account of these affairs, in a dispatch 
to Ponchartrain says, two were killed on the lake, and one on 
the river and that 4 or 5 of the English party were killed at the 
latter place. Possibly one or both of the Naticks were lost.

During the same year (1709) the Governor of Massachusetts 
issued an order for scouting parties to hold themselves in readi- 
ness to invade Canada. Captain Wright sent to him the fol- 
lowing letter: 

May it please your excellency : — 

Northampton Sept. 19, 1709. 

With submission and under correction I offer my services to 
y® Excellency, if that is wisdom you send forces to Canada from 
our posts by land that ^ Here am I, send me.’ This year I have 
done service, and hope I may again, not that I would trouble 
your Excellency, but am willing to go. Not else, but in Duty 
I subscribe myself: 

Ye Excellency’s most Humble sevt, 
Benjamin Wright.” 

Dec. 5th (1723), Capt. Benjamin Wright asks the Governor’s 
leave to raise a company of, — ^^30 or 40 men to go on the track 
of this enemy w*^ came to Northfield as far as Otta Creek & 
thence round to White Eiver & so home by Connecticut River 
* * * This I humbly judge to be very serviceable to this part 

of Country & probably might be y® means of Destroying some 
of y® Enemy * * * & if y® Hon^ see meet to give order we 

think it a piece of good service to mark y® road w®^ y® Enemy 
went as far as Otter Creek.” 

In 1725, he led a scouting party to Canada by a route that 
passed the farms on which many of his descendants afterwards 
settled. The following are the incidents of the expedition: 

This season [1725] the aggressive policy was settled upon 
by the authorities as the best protection of the frontier. Dum- 
mer suggested to Capt. Benj. Wright to raise a company of vol- 
unteers to go against the Indian settlements in Canada. 
Wright’s reply: 

May 29th — 

I am very willing to go or do what I can but y® undertak- 
ing being so difficult & y® fitting out so chargable y® men cant 
possibly go upon the encouragement but if there was suitable en- 
couragement no doubt y® men would go (but the unhappy class 
of men, by y® mismanagement of y® officers had very much dis- 
spirited poeple, young and old) and it seems to me, the most 
serviceable when done in Massesquich, Grey Locks fort. 


GAPT. BENJAMIN « WRIGHT

Partridge writing the Governor the same day advises that 
Capt. Wright’s party be allowed double pay [5s.] if after 6 or 7 
weeks they return with scalps. He fears that the enemy are 
on our borders and parties of 30 or 40 go out together to their 
work. Meanwhile Wright’s expedition was settled upon and 
Kellogg at Northfield and Dwight at Drummer were directed 
to make up (by volunteers or by impressment of good men) his 
company of 60 or 70 men. The journal of the march is given 
entire as illustrating the kind of service at first hand. Wright 
probably followed one of the usual paths of the enemy in coming 
against the river towns, and struck the lake near the mouth of 
French [Winooski] river about seventy-five miles from the point 
of his destination. 

A line J ournal of our March from K. Field to Misixcouh bay un- 
der y® command of Benj Wright, Captain, began 
July 27, Ano Dom 1725: 

July 27. It rained in y® forenoon: about 2 o’clock in y® after- 
noon I set out from K. Field ; being fifty-nine of us & we came

mer & there we mended our canoes and went y‘ night to Hawley’s 
Island 5 miles above Fort Drummer in all 10 miles. 

29. We departed from Hawley’s Island & came to a meadow 
2 miles short of y® Great Falls 18 miles. 

30. We set off from the great meadow and came to y® Great 
Falls & carried our canoes across and from there we went 10 
miles. 

31. From there we set off and came within three miles of

10. This day we marched West by North 10 miles. 

11. We marched to y® upper end of y® 2d pond at the head 
of Wells river upon a N. W. course 10 miles. About noon this

N. west & traveled 5 miles further in very bad woods. 

12. We marched from y® upper end of y® upper pond 13 miles 
in very bad woods & and here encamped by reason of foul weather : 
here David Allen was taken sick. 

13. We lay by to see if Allen would be able to travel. 

14. We marched from y® upper end by y® 2d (?) pond W by 
N to French river 9 miles. We crossed y® French river and trav- 
eled 1 mile & 1/2 in all 10 miles & half. 

15. There we encamped all day by reason of foul weather. 
This day Clark Hubbard being lame was sent back and two men 
with him to the fort at the mouth of Wells Eiver. 

16. We marched from our camp 3 miles and came to a branch 
of y® French river: from thence we marched 6 miles & came to 
a beaver pond out of which ran another branch of said river, 
from thence we traveled 6 miles & came upon another branch 
where we camped our course being N. W. 15. 

17. We marched from said branch 13 miles and crossed a vast 
mountain & there we camped that night. 13

19. We marched from thence W. N. W. to the top of a vast 
high mountain which we called Mount Discovery where we had 
a fine prospect of the lake 4 miles : from whence we went down 
s^ mountain 2 miles on a N. course & then traveled 6 miles 
N. W. on a brook. Here arose a storm which caused us to 
take up our lodging somewhat before night. 

20. We followed said brook N. N. W. 9 miles and then y® 
brook turned N. & we traveled on it 9 miles further & y® brook 
increased to a considerable river. 18 

21. We marched 6 miles N. & then came to where y® river 
emptied itself into a very large river coming out from y® east 
somewhat northerly. We traveled down said river W. 7 miles: 
there the river turned south & we marched 7 miles further & 
here we encamped at the foot of y® falls. 20 

22. Here we laid still by reason of rain. 


CAPT. BENJAMIN ^ WEIGHT

23. Now I gave liberty to some y^ they might return home 
by reason our provisions was almost spent & there appeared 41. 
the Capt. L^t. & Ens. with 12 men marched over y® river at y® 
foot of y® falls & marched 6 miles S. S. W. & 3 miles W. & y“ 
came to y® lake & marched 6 miles down upon y® Lake & this 
N. W. & y® N. W. end of y® Lake or bay beiug at a great distance 
& then we turned homeward without making any discovery of 
y® enemy. 

25. We set off from y® Lake to return home & came to y® 
mouth of Wells river in five days and a half, here we discov- 
ered 3 Indians who had waded over y® river just below y® fort 
which we took to be our own men by reason y^ y® two Indians 
who were with us & one man were sent away early in the morn- 
ing to hunt; but it proved upon examination that they were 
enemies but it was too Late for they were moved off. 

29. We set off from the fort at the mouth of Wells river & 
came to Northfield Sept. 2*^ at night. 

I have given your Honor a true Journal of our marches & 
submit y® whole to your Honor’s censure and am your Honor’s 
most humble & obedient Sev^ to command. 

Benj Wright. 

Sept. 4^^ Wright transmits the journal to Gov. Hummer. 

We will acquaint your Honors of w^ happened in our jour- 
ney & how far we went. I humbly wait upon your Honor’s order 
whether to Dismiss my company or prepare for a march again 
& humbly pray your Honors to let me know your pleasure in 
the affair. I shall speedily send a muster roll and humbly pray 
it might be made payable to me for I have been at considerable 
charge to procure canoes for them & other things w*^ I shall lose 
if y® Muster Eoll be not made payable to me. I am your Honors 
In all Respects to Command. 

Benj Wright. 

Hummer’s reply Sept. 13, 1725. 

S’^ I rec’d your lef^ of the 4*^ Instant and sh^ have been glad 
your muster Roll had been sent down, but lest your men sh^ 
want money to fit them out for a second march I have sent you 
Three Hundred Pounds by Mr Jo® Lyman which is about Half 
the wages due on the Roll. You must distribute it to your of- 
ficers & men in due Proportion as part of their wages so they 
may be encouraged to proceed with you again. I am sorry for 


22 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


3 ^our mistake by which you mist those three • Indians. I hope 
you will be more careful for the time to come not to lose such 
Advantages & so the principal design of the chargable march. 
Having fresh tidings of the Designs of the enemy I now desire 
& direct you with ^1 possible dispatch to set out with your com- 
pany & Proceed on a second March in Quest of the Enemy : Get 
what Intelligence you can of the usual places of their passing 
from Canada to our Frontier that so if possible you may meet 
them, and do some valuable execution upon them. Let no time 
be lost in this affair: I leave it to your discretion what par- 
ticular Rout to take in your march. Having a very good opin- 
ion of your Courage & I have the Rather chosen you to go out 
again that so you may be on your way to retrieve your former 
error in Letting those three Indians escape. 

The cost of this expedition was about £600 and had the three 
Indians been caught the governor would have considered it well 
spent. £200 a head for Indians was a good investment.

first week in October, having been delayed through a lack of 
Public stores.” His exploits fill a large space in the history of

THEIR DESCENDANTS 

MOSES/ second son of Nathaniel ® and Elizabeth (Hnnkins) 
Chamberlin, was bom at Oxford, Massachusetts, 30th March, 
1716, and removed with his father to Northfield (same State) 
about 1728. (Part First, Branch I, 3d Ancestral Family.) 

( 1 ) ( 3 ) 

On 11 April, 1737, Nathaniel Chamberlin of the new town 
above Northfield called Arlington (now Winchester, N. H.) for 
love and natural affection" deeds ‘‘my son Moses Chamberlin 
of Arlington, husbandman, one half of my farm in said Arling- 
ton, being in that part of the township called the ‘ Bow.’ " (3)

Moses Chamberlain | seal [ 


The following items are from the Litchfield Town Eecords. 

Moses Chamberlain’s Ear Mark for his creatures is two 
half pennies in the upper side the near ear and one half penny 
in the under side of the same ear. 

Dated 6 May, 1746. 

December 10, 1753. 

Taken up by Moses Chamberlain, two grown swine, one a red 
color marked with a cross on the right ear, the other a white 
one, marked with a swallow’s tail in the left ear.” 

Entered December 24, 1753. 

Moses Chamberlain admitted as a freeman 1758. 

His name is in a list of Grand Jurors for 1761. 

Although the land records of Litchfield, Conn., do not men- 
tion Moses Chamberlain until 1748, the first item of the pre- 
ceding list shows that he was there as early as 1746. He re- 
moved to Newbury, Vermont, early in the seventies, from which 
place he and all of his sons took active parts in the struggle for 
liberty. Pay rolls on file show that a Moses Chamberlain served 
12 days in Captain Thomas Johnson’s Company of Minute Men 
in 1775, and 6 days in the same company in 1776. His name 
appears on a pay roll of Captain John G. Bayley’s Company, in 
Newbury, covering the period from April, 1777, to March 6, 
7. New Hampshire Colonial Deeds. Vol. 80, p. 54. 


26 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


1779; on a pay roll of Captain Simeon Stevens’ Company, cov- 
ering the period from May, 1779, to May 21, 1781; and on a 
pay roll of Captain Frye Bayley’s Company, from May, 1781, to 
the end of the war, which roll shows periods of service of 1 
month, 21 days, and 1 month and 10 days, respectively. 

The records also show that one of the same name, rank not 
stated, served in Captain Elijah Gates’ Company of Volunteers 
in Colonel Benjamin Wait’s Battalion, in the service of the 
state of Vermont, from July 17, 1781 to December 15, 1781, in- 
clusive. A pay roll of the company, dated at Windsor, June 
20, 1782, bears items as follows : Commencement of Pay, 

October 20, 17 — ; pay ending November 27, 1781; number of 
days in service, 38.” ( 1 ) 

Which, if any, of the foregoing records of service belongs to 
his son Moses I am unable to say. (For respective service of the 
son see Part Second, Branch III.) 

About 1739, Moses ^ Chamberlin married Jemima,® daughter 

of Kemembrance and Elizabeth ( ) Wright (Part First, 

Branch II., 4th Ancestral Family in A.), born April 30, 1717; 
died July 30, 1807.* (2) He and his wife were members of 

the Congregational church of Newbury but his title of Deacon 
was held before he moved there. (3) 

On October 8, 1795, Moses Chamberlin of Newbury, County 
of Orange, Vt., Deacon, for £200, deeds to Avery Skitton a cer- 
tain piece of land in Litchfield (So. Farms) 50 Acres. 

He died at Newbury, 25 June, 1796, and is buried in the 
Oxbow” Cemetery (see picture of cemetery). His gravestone 
states that he was born in Litchfield, Conn., in 1716; but Litch- 
field was not settled until 1721. (The original stones which had 
been broken were replaced by new marble ones about 1875 and 
it is supposed that his descendants at Newbury had confused 
his place of birth with that of his former residence.) 

Their children were: 

I. Susanna,® born at Winchester, N. H., August 29, 1740; 
married, 1st, November 18, 1759, in Litchfield, Conn., 
by Jacob Woodruff, Justice of the Peace, as 2d wife, 
Aaron Shepherd; married, 2d, November 25, 1784, Capt. 
Simeon Stevens of Newbury, Vt., who died July 6, 

1. Records in Military Secretary’s Ofl&ce, War Dept., Washington, D. C.

28 THE WniGET-CHAMBEELIN GENEALOGY 


PATERNAL SURNAME 

As from this point I wish to give the descendants of each son 
of Moses and Jemima (Wright) Chamberlain separately, I will 
begin each division with the record of its own progenitor in the 
foregoing family. 

Perhaps, before taking up the record of descendants of the 
5th generation, it would be best to refer to the spelling of the 
surname as used by the different lines. Some branches of this 
large family spell the name with an a in the last syllable (lain) 
while by far the greater number leave it out. 

If you will but notice the name as written in the will of Rich- 
ard ^ Chamberline of Sudbury, Mass., you will see that the last 
syllable of the name is line. (The will herein given was copied 
from what was claimed to be an exact copy of the original docu- 
ment.) Also, you will find the words son, half, cow, year, etc., 
spelled with final e. In modern usage the final e has disap- 
peared from these words and likewise from the names Benja- 
mine and Chamberline in all instances with which I am ac- 
quainted. 

Wells’ History of Newbury, Yt., states that Richard,* eldest 
brother of Moses* Chamberlin, and his descendants always 
spelled the last syllable lin while the descendants of Moses* 
Chamberlin spelled it both ways. Moses ® and Wright,® sons of 
Moses,* who settled in Pennsylvania, and their brother Asher 
who remained in Vermont spelled the name without the a and 
their descendants in a great majority continue the same style. 
There are, however, a few descendants of Wright Chamberlin 
who use the a in the last syllable. Those whom I have found 
are the descendants of Julius [Wright®] and Electia (Cole) 
Chamberlin and the families of Joseph Wright and Albert Na- 
poleon, sons of Milo [Wright®] and Sarah (Cole) Chamberlin, 
while another son of said Milo, Milo D. Chamberlin and his 
descendants are said to strictly adhere to the spelling of his fore- 
fathers.

January 21, 1796. 

This day I bid farewell to the state of Connecticut and the 
town of Litchfield, it being the place of my nativity in which I 
have lived, except about one year and eight months that I spent 
in the state of Vermont where I married my first wife, Hannah 
Heath. From there I returned to my fathers in Litchfield where 
I continued until May 1795. At that time I sold my farm and 
set out with Denman Coe to visit the state of Pennsylvania and 
to find another farm. I bought a possession at Hopbottom * 
and on the 11th of June 1795 I set out with Coe’s family to 
carry them into Pennsylvania. 

I worked in Hopbottom that year from the 26th day of June 
till the 8th of September following, when I set out for Litchfield 
in order to move my family to Hopbottom; but as I passed Nine

Partners* Mr. John Tyler persuaded me to purchase a posses- 
sion there. 

On February 29, 1796, 1 arrived with my family at Nine Part- 
ners where I staid until May when I sold my farm at Hopbot- 
tom and bought a farm on Putts Hill f of Joshua Jay but did 
not move my family until August 25 (1796) where I lived until 
December 14th when I moved into my new house down by my 
well.’’ 

In 1798, he received a license to keep tavern in the above men- 
tioned log house which was situated on the high ground a short 
distance west of the house owned by Lewis Evens (1873) which 
was built two or three rods from the frame house raised by 
Wright Chamberlin on October 3, 1814. His license was re- 
newed in 1799. 

The old road which run by his log house was superseded in 
1807-10 by the Newburg turnpike. There was a great deal of 
travel over that old road and Chamberlin’s log tavern was not a 
little frequented. One night the ground floor (as probably the 
upper floor) was entirely covered with lodgers except a narrow 
passage from the hearth to the outer door for the accommodation 
of the host who sat up through the night to keep fire for the 
comfort of his weary slumbering guests. Most of these were 
loyalists or rather royalists from New Jersey who were going to 
Canada after the war to claim the British promise of a farm to 
the emigrating Tories. There was also a considerable emigra- 
tion from New England and elsewhere to the Holland Purchase 
in western New York. 

As early as 1800 he taught school for the benefit of his and 
his neighbor’s children. In and by an act of assembly passed 
the 19th of March, 1816, establishing an Academy in the town 
of Montrose, Susquehanna Co., Penn., Wright Chamberlin was 
appointed as one of the fourteen trustees. 

In his old age he took many long journeys on foot and by 
wagon to visit his children. He frequently walked from his home 
in Gibson to what is now West Clifford of the same county to 
visit his son Levi and in the early autumn of 1832, accompanied 
by his daughter Electia, he drove to Syracuse and Lafayette in 
the state of New York to visit his daughters, Azubah Fuller 
and Eunice Johnson and his son Julius. On their return they

now Gibson, same county. 


32 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


stopped at Great Bend to visit his daughter Lodusky Jackson, 
where they arrived October 17th and remained over night. A 
few years later he made another visit to north central New York 
accompanied by his daughter Electia and his son Oliver and 
wife, arriving at his son Julius’ when the snow lay deep upon 
the ground. On June 1, 1842, he attended the wedding of his 
granddaughter Phoebe, daughter of his son James Chamberlin, 
and John B. Johnston; this being only a few weeks before his 
death. 

He and his wife were among the ten persons who composed 
the first Congregational (later changed to Presbyterian) Society, 
of Gibson organized November 21, 1818 by Eevs. E. Kinsbury, 
M. M. York, and 0. Hill. Wright Chamberlin and William 
Holmes were chosen deacons, a position he held for many years. 
In the Eevolutionary War, he was Sergeant in Captain Simeon 
Steven’s company of Newbury, Vermont, from May, 1779, to 
May, 1781 ; service done — in guarding and scouting, in sundry 
alarms, and guarding prisoners under command of Colonel Peter 
Olcott — was nineteen days at £2 8s. per month: total pay £1 
10s. 3d. (Vt. state papers in office of Adjutant Gen., Mont- 
pelier, Vt.) 

His first wife, Hannah Heath, dying in 1797, he married, 
2d, December 25, 1797, Sally, daughter of Nathaniel Holdridge, 
who settled in Herrick, Susquehanna Co., Penn., as early as 1789 ; 
but afterwards removed to Wellingborough (now Great Bend) 
of same county, where he was constable in 1790. He married as 
3d wife, Mary (better known as Polly), daughter of Jasper 
Billings, who survived him ; married, 2, Justin Smith ; and died 
November 19, 1883, at the advanced age of eighty-four years and 
two months. Mr. C. died July 17, 1842, and was buried in the

''Dear Children: Having an opportunity of sending a letter 
direct to you I improve the opportunity. And I hardly know 
what to say to you it is so long since you knew anything about 
us that I hardly know what to inform you off after mentioning 
that we are all well as could be expected which ought to be a 
matter of thankfullness to us. I have heard from you once since 
I saw you and heard that you had settled in the world and had 
once more the care of another family which brings you under 
still greater responsibility and I hope that you bare in mind that 
all the favors and priviledges that we enjoy brings us under 
greater obligation to serve God: I expect that Moses will de- 
liver this letter to you and he can tell you all that is taking place 
here at present. I lately had a letter from Nathaniel. He was 
then at Shepardstown in Virginia but was soon to set out for 
the East from which it is not likely that he will ever return. 
John was here in June and was well. We had a letter from 
Eunice the other day that informed us Hannah was very sick 
and with respect to Mr. Coles people she wrote nothing — I 
want you should write to us and let us Know where you are and 
what is your prospect of living so I conclude this letter by sub- 
scribing myself your Affectionate Father.’^

The following Fourth of July oration was written by Wright 
Chamberlin, Sr., and it is believed by the descendants of his son 
Milo, who have treasured the original document for many years, 
that he was the author and deliverer of it. There is no date 
mentioned but the condition of our country described therein 
corresponds with the condition of affairs of the United States in 
1812. It probably was delivered on the Fourth of July of that 
year. 

In 1898, the original was held by Mrs. Helena A.^ (Cham- 
berlain) Briggs [Milo,^ Wright who valued it very highly. 
In August of that year she sent it to the Reunion of the de- 
scendants of Wright Chamberlin, Sr., held at Harford, Susque- 
hanna County, Penn., by her nephew, Orville T. Chamberlain, 
who made a copy of it before returning it to her. In doing so 
he saved the oration as the original could not be found after 
Mrs. Briggs’ death November 10, 1898. I copy it as accurately 
in every respect as possible. Some words of the original seem 
to have been illegible. 

On so important an Event as the birthday of the Empire 
in which we live, none will doubt the Propriety of spending a 
few moments in contemplating the various Objects suggested to 
the mind, and the many scenes through which we passed to ob- 
tain our independence. To give you a full detail of the num- 
berless causes that occasioned the separation of the Colonies from 
the Mother Country would take a Length of time, and swell 

to a Volume so that I shall only give you an imperfect 

sketch of some particular things most Obvious to the mind. The 
first thing that tended to Alienate the affections of the Colonies 
from great Britan Was the infamous Stamp act passed in (1765) 
by which the Citizens of the Colonies was Obligated to the use 
of Stampt Paper for all Legal conveyances in writing of what- 
soever Nature or name it might be. This act However costly 
Alarmed the fears and Jelossios of the then Loyal Colonis, but 
now free, independent and soveringn states of america, but after 
repeated petitions and remonstrances together with the assistance 
of Mr. Pitt who was then prime Minister of the British parli- 
ment and a friend to america it was Repeled the next year, but 
the parlement of Great Britan did not abandon their purpos 
of Raising a Revenue to the Crown out of Colonies for in (1767) 
they laid a duty on tea, glass, and many other articals but did 
not attempt to Enforce them untill (1773). The poeple of Bos- 
ton Determined not to pay a Duty on these articals went 


36 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


on board Some vessels Lying in the Harbour loaded with tea, 
and threw it overboard, but full Eestitution was offered in money 
For all the Damage done to privit or public property by the poe- 
ple of Boston : but it semes that a Quarrel was intended and Even 
sought by the king and parliment of England against the Colo- 
nies, for the king entered into a privit Quarrel with his subjects 
contrary to the constitution of the British nation, and now was 
Looked upon by the parliment of great Britan a favorable op- 
portunity of bringing the Colonies to an unconditional submis- 
sion and at the same time passed Sundry acts hostile to the Lib- 
erties of a free poeple, one of which acts was an infringement 
on the Eight of the Charter of Massachusetts, whose Eight be- 
fore was so small that it did shame to a free poeple to recognize. 
Things about this time began to ware the most alarming appear- 
ances. Early in the spring of seventy-four General Gage was 
sent to america as Governor of the state of Massachusetts for 
the Express purpose of carrying the acts of parliment into exe- 
cution, which proved very distressing to the poeple in Boston, 
for soon after the arrival of Governor Gage four thousand troops 
was sent from England to his Assistance, with orders from the 
King to shut the port of Boston, so that no traid was carried 
on with the poeple in town, who must have starved in great num- 
bers had not there Brethren in the Country sent them Belief 

in April (1775) on the Nineteenth day Colonel Smith was 

sent by General Gage from Boston to Destroy some military 

stores at Concord passing Lexington found some malitia 

convened but made no Eesistance, yet was fired upon by the brit- 
ish. And Eight men killed on the spot and a number wounded, 
in this wanton, cruel and daring manner was shed the first Hu- 
man blood in our Late Eevolutionary war. but since that hour 
our Country has bled in a thousand vains both by sea and Land 

the malitia in the Neighbourhood flue to arms to aveng the 

blood of their injured Country, and soon was in force, so that they 
began to Deal out Death to their Enemies on Every Side and 

a number of the British was killed, and some taken in a 

short time after this there was Collected of our people at Boston 
and its Neighbourhood about twenty Thousand men which kept 
the Enemy Close in Boston untill General Howe Arrived from 
England the first of June (1775) with about seven thousand 
fresh troops. And on the night of the sixteenth of this month 
our people went onto Bunker hill and threw up some fortifica- 
tions and the next day Enemy was sent out of Boston by 

Governor Gage to Dislodge them. To strike the deeper Horror

and to Add to the Dreadfull scene of battle, and the better to 
keep themselves out of sight of our people untill they arrived near 
the battle ground they set Charles Town on tire. Here a Catas- 
trophe took place as yet unknown to america all the women 

and Children flying in wild Dispare from their half Consumed 
homes amidst the Eoar of Caimon and the burst of shells with 
the groans of the Dicing and wounded, together with the Clash 
of arms and Din of war to Compleat the scene. This is the 
Road my Countrymen that we have trod, and our foot steps have 
been marked with blood that has led to Liberty, independence 
and freedom. The British fought stimulated by an unbounded 
Lust of power, inured to Conquest and Victory but the war, on 
the part of our Country, was a Defensive one, in which we fought 
for our Country, our Lives, our Liberties, our Estates, our ven- 
erable fathers, our tender Children, the wives of our bosom, our 
friends, the sharers of our souls, our posterity to the Latest ages 

in short out Earthly all. Witness ye Veterans if this be 

not the Case, you who have trod the fleld of Battle where blood 
and Carnage spread the ground, whose feet was dipt in human 
blood, this was a day to try men’s souls. The Event of this 
day is too well Known to nead to be Mentioned at this time, but 
this must not be forgoton to be mentioned: the Death of the 
Brave General Warren, Who fought, bled and died in his Coun- 
trys Cause. Whos blood Enriched the soil of Bunkers Hill 
his name will be transmitted to posterity with Grati- 
tude. 

And you fellow Citizens who best understand the Endearing 
name of Brother by the signs and simbols of free masonry can 
never forgit your Leader, your head, your Brother but with him 
will Ever be found Emblems of Gratitude and Ensigns of mourn- 
ing which you will hand down to those that come after you.

was appointed to the command of our Army, then at Boston 

this is the man, the hero, the patriot that Lead our armies to 
battle and to victory, and Although his body be Confined to Earth

Liberty, independence and freedom when yonnder sun ushered 
in the mom of the fourth of July (1776) and haled the aupi- 
cious day Big with the fate of all america. When the Conti-

great Britan and when the fate of our Country and all it 

includes was so Dreadfully Doubtfull when we ware tossed and

taking a vew of our then posture of affairs who could help ask- 
ing with Painful solicitude what will be the End of these things, 
but propicious Heaven smiled and gave us the Victory And 
Crowned our Exertion with success. Two British Generals with 
their armies viz. Burgoyn & Cornwallis were Vanquished and 
taken prisners by the heros of america, Such a thing fellow citi- 
zen as is not to be found in the Annals of history where two 
British armies have been taken prisners by any one nation under 
heaven. But this was the Lord’s doings and it was marvelous 
in our eye. Where-of we have Keazon to Eejoice and be Ex- 
ceeding Glad. 

And on the thirtieth day of November (1782) the pride of 
the Haughty monarch of of Grate Britan was so Humbled as 
to acknowleg the Colonies to be a free, independent and soverign 
people from this time we took our Bank among the Na-

rany and oppression shall hide its head. Let us, fellow citi- 
zens, at our next Election give our sufferages for men who are 
fearers of God, Lovers of the people and their Country. Let 
us scorn to be slaves; for in vain our worthy ancestors Crost 
the. Bostros Ocean, founded a new world, prepared it for the 
* * of Liberty; in vain we toild, in vain we fought, we bled 

in vain if we want Valor Enough to withstand our internal as 
well as our Externial Enemies. Let us not stain the glory of 
our worthy ancestors, but LiKe them Eesolve never to part with 
our birth Eight privalidges but Let us be wise in our Delibera- 
tion and determined in our Exertion for the preservetion of 
our Liberty.

He first settled in Gibson near his father’s but later removed 
to Onondaga Co., N. Y., where he married, 2d, December 12, 

1828, Elizabeth, daughter of William and Elizabeth ( ) 

Smith and widow of Adam Dansforth of Syracuse, N. Y. ; born 
November 23, 1799; survived him nearly ten years; died Feb- 
ruary 16, 1882. He removed to Elkhart, Indiana, in 1850, 
where they spent the remainder of their lives. 

He engaged in various pursuits and at one time or another 
was a farmer, a contractor, a dealer in stock, dealer in meat and 
a dealer in proprietary medicine. He, at various times, held 
offices of honor and trust, both military and civil, and at one 
time occupied the Judicial bench. 

He returned to Penns 5 dvania during the summer of 1847 and 
visited his relatives whom he had not seen for many years,, in 
the disguise of a peddler. Calling at his brother Levi’s, he 
found that both his brother and wife were absent, so he asked 
the girls if he could remain over night there, but as they were 
unable to answer that question, he said he would feed his horse 
anyway and then asked if they could get him something to eat. 
While the elder girl, Eunice, began preparing the food, a younger 
girl, Sarah, hastened to the neighbors where their mother was 
visiting and told of the stranger’s presence, adding that He 
has hands and feet just like Father’s.” By the time Levi’s wife 
had crossed the room after addressing the stranger, she turned 
and called him by name; but Levi’s recognition was slower as

at the joke, so upon Mr. Chamberlin’s departure for the home 
of their eldest brother, J ames, Asher arrayed himself in another 
suit and by going across lots reached the home of James first 
and completed his plans. When our subject arrived Asher was 
introduced by an assumed name and took active part in the con- 
versation of the brothers for some time and then departed, leav- 
ing J ames to make known his real name as Milo had not recog- 
nized him. On visiting his sister Lodusky, who, also, failed to 
recognize him, he made himself rather familiar, probably, to 
cause her to think who he might be, when she u^esitatingly 
threatened to introduce him to her dishcloth fresh from the pan. 

He was a Freemason and a Christian. It is said by those 
who knew him best, that he performed each duty faithfully and 
well. Died November 17, 1872. Family 2, next gen.

1833, removed to the west and practiced his pro- 
fession at White Pigeon, Mich., and at Chicago ; in 

1836, went to Michigan City, where, December 3, 

1837, he married Caroline Tryon, born December

Berrien Springs, Mich., Milford, Ind., and Leesburg, 
Ind., and finally, in 1843, settled in Elkhart, Ind., 
then a mere hamlet of fifty-six houses and contained 
only 67 voters, where he spent the remainder of his 
life. 

Soon after settling in Elkhart, Mrs. Chamberlain, 
who was an earnest Christian worker, sought to hold 
Prayer Book exercises at her house and was rewarded 
by finding two families, those of Eliel G. Farr of

Chicago, October 21st, 1835.” 

** D'r Father: — 

You may be surprised to receive a letter from me at this place. 
I have just arrived here from Michigan City (8 oYlock in the 
evening) on an expedition to the west to see the country. I 
have entirely recovered my^ health and in fact think that it is 
better than it has been before in a year. My company in this 
journey is Col. Stewart from Michigan City. Our mode of con- 
veyance is a horse and carriage. We think of going in the first 
place to Milwaukee a place 90 miles north of this place, on the 
Lake at the mouth of a river of the same name and in the Wis- 
consin Territory. Our object in going there is to get an interest 
in the town which is to be laid out there by which we hope to 
make our fortunes. 

This place is about half way from this place to Green Bay. 
From Milwaukee we intend to return to this place and then go 
south to Ottoway and down the Illinois Kiver to Peoria which 
is 160 miles from this place and return through the interior 
of Illinois and Indiana to Michigan City. I do not know that 
I shall leave Michigan City but may possibly. If I do it will 
be for the purpose of making money. I have done very well in 
my small speculations. I wrote you that I own a share in two 
or three lots and I have sold entirely out and have made clear 
$220.00 which I have now in my pocket and from my business 
I have managed to pay up for my board, clothing and everything 
of the kind and have a hundred dollars due to me besides which 
I can collect in half a day any time, which will leave me a little 
over $300.00 clear, which I intend to use to the best advantage. 
My love to all. In haste. Your oVt Son, J. W. C. 

Write and direct your letters to Michigan City as usual.”

8 VIII. Milo Dansforth, bom. in Syracuse, N. Y., August 23, 

1829 ; at the age of five years removed with his par- 
ents to Geneseo, N. Y., where he grew to manhood, 
finishing his education at Temple Hill Academy in 
1844. He then learned the printer’s trade, which 
occupation he followed for nine years. During Tay- 
lor’s presidential campaign in 1848, he edited and 
published the Democrat at Nunda, N. Y. In 1853, 
he located in Freeport, Illinois, and opened a hat and 
fur store in which he continued imtil 1892; twenty- 
seven years of that time being spent in the same 
storeroom. He was a zealous worker in the cause 
of Freemasonry, being initiated, passed, and raised 
in Excelsior Lodge, No. 97, A. F. and A. M., Free- 
port, 111., in 1856; received the degree of Capitular 
Masonry in 1858 ; the orders of Knighthood in Free- 
port Commandery No. 7, in 1858; Royal Select 
Masters in Dixon, 111., in 1864 ; was created a Knight 
of the Red Cross of Constantine, in Freeport in 1869 ; 
received the different grades in the rites of Mem- 
phis, in New York city in 1867; received the dif- 
ferent grades in the Ancient and Accepted Scottish 


'58 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


Rites, in Oriental Consistory in Chicago, April, 1866. 

He was thrice elected master of Excelsior Lodge, 
No. 97, Freeport, 111.; in 1860, 1861, 1862; elected 
high priest of Freeport Chapter, No. 23, R. A. M., 
December, 1863 ; elected eminent commander of 
Freeport Commandery, No. 7, Knight Templar in 
December, 1865; elected commander-in-chief of 
Freeport Consistory in 1869 and served three years. 

From the time he was made a Mason he took great 
interest in Masonry and woven in his Masonic life 
was a great deal of the development of the standard 
work in Illinois. He attended Grand Lodge for the 
first time in 1859 and was at the session when Rob- 
ert Morris was refused permission to exemplify the 
Conservators work before the Grand Lodge, which 
he afterwards attempted to introduce in Illinois by 
the aid of a secret society called “ Conservators.” 

It was during this time that Grand Master Turner 
came to the. front and through his skilled manage- 
ment, aided by Grand Secretary Reynolds and oth- 
ers, the threatened trouble in the Grand Lodge was 
averted and its supremacy maintained and respected. 
But it was found among those loyally disposed that 
there was a difference of opinion in regard to the 
true work. It became evident to the Grand Master 
and other distinguished craftsmen that some stand- 
ard must be adopted to satisfy the craft for uni- 
formity. He accordingly called a meeting of the 
grand lecturers at the Fremont House in Chicago in 
the spring of 1864. Our subject was present at that 
meeting and after each lecturer present had re- 
hearsed the ritual and work as he thought it, it was 
voted that the work rehearsed by “ Brother ” Cham- 
berlin was the “Webb-Barney Work” and was 
adopted by the Grand Lodge. 

In the following November, Grand Master Turner 
issued an edict to the craft requiring the masters of 
lodges and grand lecturers to conform to the work 
as taught by “ Brother ” Chamberlin, appointing him 
as the custodian of the work. 

The first “ School of Instruction ” under his 
supervision was held in the city of Springfield, Sep- 
tember 25, 1864, and continued until the session of

the Grand I^odge in October. He was again ordered 
by Grand Master Bromwell, G. M. Turner’s suc- 
cessor, to visit Chicago and open a School of In- 
struction ” and inspect the lodges, and he was in- 
vested with authority to close all lodges found will- 
fully working unauthorized work. He entered upon 
these duties with great reluctance in February, 1866, 
and advertised in the Evening Journal that he would 
open a Masonic School of Instruction in Masonic 
Temple on Dearborn street and requested the at- 
tendance of masters and wardens of Chicago lodges. 
He remained in this city nearly six weeks, instructing 
during the day and exemplifying the work on actuM 
candidates during the evening. He was many times 
elected president of the board of Grand Examiners 
and held several other important positions. 

He married, 1st, in 1855, Louisa Y. Loveland. 
She dying, he married, 2d, Margaret McCall. He

When quite young she moved with her parents to 
Geneseo, Livingston Co., H. Y., and at the age of 
sixteen began to teach at Hunda, H. Y. At the age 
of 18 years, she went to Boston and received one 
year’s instruction in music under the direction of 
Prof. Johnson, at the end of which time she went 
to Tuscombia, Ala., and taught music for two years 
in Prof. Sloan’s school for young ladies. Then she 
spent a winter in Louisville, Ky., where she pursued 
her study of music. In the meantime Prof. Sloan 
had moved his school to Somersville, West Tennes- 
see. She again engaged with him and taught four 
years more. At the end of this time she resigned 
her position and went to the home of her parents 
in Elkhart, Ind., where, on September 10, 1856, 
she was married to Dr. George H. Briggs (born June 
30, 1827), and moved with him to Delevan, Wiscon- 
sin, where she was very popular in musical circles, 
both as a pianist and pipe organist. In 1892, they 
removed to Albert Lea, Minnesota, where they re- 
sided until her death, November 10, 1898. 

She was very active in church work ; was a promi-

is now the city of Syracuse, on December 27, 1832. 
When about one year old his parents moved to Gen-

schools and at Temple Hill Academy. He engaged, 
for a time, in the printing business at Nunday Val- 
ley and in 1850, was in the oil region of Pennsyl- 
vania where he repaired tanks. The same year he 
went with his father to Elkhart, Ind., where he spent 
the remainder of his life. At first he worked at the 
tinner’s trade but soon he and his father went into 
the proprietary medicine business, wliich he followed 
until the last, known as the A. N. Chamberlain 
Medicine Co., it being the longest continuous busi- 
ness in the city. 

He settled on Lot No. 1 of the first or original 
village of Elkhart, in 1851 (now 220 North Main 
St.), this being his home until death. In politics he 
was a republican with the exception of a time when 
he espoused the greenback cause. He became a Mas-

In 1869 he accepted a call as Superintendent of the 
Louisiana Institution for the Deaf and Blind in 
Baton Rouge and in 1877, he moved onto his sugar 
plantation situated about eleven miles from Baton 
Rouge where he staid three years, when he was ap- 
pointed Principal of the Western Pennsylvania In- 
stitution for the Deaf which was then located at Tur- 
tle Creek, now at Edgewood, Allegheny Co., Penn- 
sylvania. Although Mr. McWhorter was a strong 
man, the change from Louisiana to Pennsylvania in 
the winter brought on bronchial consumption from 
which he died January 14, 1883. Mrs. McWhorter 
has since lived at Albert Lea, Minn., including 1886,

2 II. Orville Tryon, born at Leesburg, Kosciusko Co., Indi- 

ana, September 1, 1841 ; was taken by his parents, 
to Elkhart, Ind., when but two years old. The local 
schools furnished the basis of his early education 
which was not completed until he came out of the 
army. His teens were spent clerking in his fathers 
drug store, learning the printer’s trade, and teaching 
school for three successive winters at the Bunker Hill 
school house, two miles south of Elkhart. Enter- 
ing Notre Dame University in 1860, he was gradu- 
ated from the Commercial Department as Master 
of Accounts. The war stopped all further thoughts 
of study but owing to his high standard as a scholar, 
the University in 1868, conferred upon him the hon- 
orary degree of Master of Arts. 

On August 6, 1862, he became a private in Com- 
pany G, 74th Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infan-

try; was made orderly sergeant and afterwards suc- 
cessively promoted 2d Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant and 
Captain of his Company. 

On the field of Chickamauga, the Seventy-fourth 
and Tenth Indiana had been lying in the outer 
trenches under constant fire. Five lines of Confed- 
erate Infantry were lined up against one in the 
trenches and the Unionists were not only outnum- 
bered but out of ammunition. Every time one of 
their number raised his head, a sharpshooter sent a 
bullet after it. Ammunition was wanted and know- 
ing that the Ninth Indiana, a mile and a quarter 
away on the firing line, had plenty, Lieutenant Cham- 
berlain gathered all the haversacks he could secure 
and started on his perilous journey. The moment 
he rose to his feet and started, there was a fusillade 
of bullets fired at him as he passed down the line; 
but he still kept on, running low on the ground, 
dodging from stump to stump and boulder to boulder, 
crawling over open spaces like a snake and bound- 
ing like a rabbit, he finally reached the trenches of 
the Ninth; loaded his pockets and haversacks; ar- 
ranged for a wagon-load of ammunition to follow as 
quickly as possible, and was off again through the 
rain of leaden bullets, which followed his course 
back to his regiment where he delivered the ammuni- 
tion to his commanding officer. While he received 
several slight wounds, his hat was shot away and 
his clothing riddled, he escaped serious injury. 

He was recommended for advancement and was 
immediately raised to Adjutant; but his case was 
taken still farther and on him was bestowed the 
thanks of the Nation, typified by a medal of honor 
— a laurel wreath enclosing an emblem of beautiful 
design, inscribed with the words, For Valor/^ — 
awarded by the Congress of the United States. This 
is the most precious of medals which corresponds to 
the Cross of the Legion of Honor, so highly prized

war. He participated in the Crab Orchard, Nash- 
ville, Tullalioma, Chattanooga, and the Atlanta cam- 
paigns, in Sherman^s March to the sea, the March 
through the Carolinas and in the Grand Eeview 
in Washington at the close of the war. Believing 
that he could serve his country best by remaining at 
the head of his company, he frequently refused other 
and higher appointments in his regiment. For brav- 
ery in battle, he was recommend^ for appointment 
to the regular army and shortly after his return, he 
received a commission from the President, as First 
Lieutenant in the regular army; but on that day 
his father died and he remained at home. For many 
years he was a prominent lawyer of the Elkhart 
county bar; at one time District Attorney and for 
several terms, City Attorney. 

He ran for the judgeship of the Elkhart and La- 
Grange District on the Kepublican ticket in 1900, 
but was not elected as he refused to buy his election 
or to resort to any such method; determined, if 
elected, to go upon the bench unfettered by any al- 
liance or influence. In 1901, he retired from active 
business and with Mrs. C. has spent much time in 
traveling. Besides visiting many places of interest 
in the United States and spending several winters 
in California, they have been to Cuba, Mexico City, 
and spent one winter in Honolulu, Sandwich Is- 
lands. 

He has been repeatedly elected President of the 
Survivors Association of the 74th Kegiment; is an 
aide-de-camp on the staff of the commander-in-chief 
of the Grand Army of the Eepublic and is also Com- 
mander of Elmer Post No. 37, Department of In-

18 II. Helen Eva, born May 9, 1861, inherited from her par- 

ents rare musical talent, the formal training of which 
began at the age of six years with her mother as 
teacher. After years of careful home training she 
studied progressively with a number of prominent 
eastern instructors, graduates of European conserva- 
tories and pupils of noted foreign masters. Under 
William Sherwood of New York, she enjoyed a 


66 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


course of interpretative lectures. After qualifying 
herself for teaching, Miss Briggs spent some time in 
giving private instruction and as church organist, 
when she accepted the position of director of music 
in the Presbyterian College at Albert Lea, Minnesota, 
which she held for several years, greatly advancing 
and building up the department during her term 
of service. 

After a year of much needed rest from teaching, 
during which time, however, she kept up her private 
practice upon the piano and pipe organ, she went 
abroad and placed herself under the fine tutelage of 
a pupil of Eubinstein, Dr. Ernest Jedliczka, under 
whose instruction she advanced and broadened rap- 
idly and gained that charming and effective method 
of interpretation peculiar to those musicians fortu- 
nate enough to have chosen the Leschetizky method. 

Upon returning to this country. Miss Briggs lo- 
cated in Canon City, Colo., where for several years 
(including 1898), she was a leader in the musical 
life of the city. She has done much effective and 
recognized work in Women^s Clubs, serving twice the 
state music committee of the Colorado Federation 
of Women’s Clubs, having charge of the concerts 
of that organization, and also appearing on the 
programs in both piano and pipe organ numbers 
at Denver, Colorado Springs and Canon City. Out 
of her harmony classes she organized the Wednesday 
Musical Club of Canon City, one of the strongest 
musical clubs in the state. 

Her pupils, going to eastern instructors and to 
masters abroad have been highly commended by their 
instructors as being among the most carefully and 
best trained pupils they have received. A large num- 
ber of her pupils have proven themselves earnest 
teachers, capable accompanists and organists and 
brilliant pianists. 

Miss Briggs accepted the position as musical di- 
rector at Stamley Hall, Minneapolis, Minn., in 1911. 
Her last field of labor was at St. Paul, Minnesota.

8 II. Ernest Orlando, born at Great Bend, Penn., November 

18, 1859 ; as a boy, was a close student of newspapers 
and magazines, which developed the faculty of close 
observation, an accomplishment which served him 
well in after years. He first began writing for a 
little local publication, the Great Bend Reporter. 
From there he went to Dunellen, N. J., to edit a 
newspaper called The Rock, and at the age of nine- 
teen years, he bought the Plainfield Bulletin which 
he edited for some time in a lively manner. His 
caustic treatment of the local politics of New Jer- 
sey particularly attracted attention and resulted in 
his being called to edit the Trenton Times. While 
editing that paper he also served the New York Sun 
and the Philadelphia Press with the political news of 
New Jersey. The Philadelphia Press sent for him 
and made him its New Jersey editor. 

In 1886, he was employed by the New York Sun 
where he remained until the spring of 1892, and as 
a special writer, detailed to handle matter requiring 
accurate judgment and conscientious work, such as 
national and state political conventions and impor- 
tant acts of the Legislature or of Congress, he estab- 
lished a reputation among newspaper workers and 
men in public life throughout the country. In the 
spring of 1892, he was made city editor, and in 1893, 
managing editor of the New York World, a position 
he held the last five years of his life except for brief 
intervals when he gave up his executive duties to 
take charge of the gathering and writing of news of 
special importance or when he went away for rest. 
His last vacation was in August and September of

1897, whicli he spent abroad. Upon his return he 
wrote a series of articles on the government of Eu- 
ropean' cities which were widely quoted and favor- 
ably commented upon. He married in 1886, Clarise 
Dore, who survived him. Died at his home, Rock- 
ledge-on-the-Palisades, Xew Jersey, April 18, 1898. 

9 III. Georgie Louise, was in Chicago winter of 1902-3. 

10 IV. Wilbur Johnson, born at Great Bend, Penn., March 12, 

1866. When ten years of age his parents moved to 
Plainfield,^ N. J., where he grew to manhood, receiv- 
ing a public school education, after which he went 
into business in New York, but not finding this at- 
tractive he returned to New Jersey and became a 
reporter for a Jersey City paper. In 1890, he went 
to work in the Sun's New York office. From that 
time on he had a part in most of the important news 
getting exploits of his time. When the Spanish- 
American War came on he was put in charge of the 
corps of men which the Sun sent to the West Indies. 
At the close of the war he returned to the New York 
office where he remained until the summer of 1900, 
when the Chinese affairs became so serious that the 
peace of the world was threatened, he then volun- 
teered to go to the east where he acted as staff cor- 
respondent. When the crisis was over he started for 
home by way of Suez Canal but on account of illness 
which came upon him upon his arrival in London 
in July, he was unable to complete his journey, but 
went to Carlsbad (a famous watering place in Bo- 
hemia, Austria; noted for its medicinal hot springs) 
where he died August 14, 1901, although his con- 
valescence had been reported three weeks previous.

LEVI 1 CHAMBEELIN’S DIVISION. (Wright 0 

LEVI ^ the sixth son and seventh child of Wright ® and Han- 
nah (Heath) Chamberlin, born February 17, 1792, while his 
parents lived in that part of Litchfield Co., Conn., now called 
South Farms; coming to Gibson, Susquehanna Co., Penn., when 
but four years of age, where he grew to manhood learning to 
swing the ax and use the sickle with an efficiency seldom 
equalled. His motto being : what is worth doing at all is worth 
doing well. 

During the war of 1812, he with his brother Moses and their 
brother-in-law, Jeremiah Fuller, were drafted and went as far 
as Danville, where news was received that peace had been de- 
clared, whereupon they returned to their homes, each receiving 
one hundred dollars for his trip. 

He married, April 8, 1814, Mary, daughter of Ichabod and 
Sarah (Eoberts) Lott, born April 28, 1798. In 1816, they 
moved into the wilds of New Milford township, three miles from 
Motts Hotel, where they remained about two years; in 1818, 
he bought the Bennett Farm situated in that part of Clifford 
township, Susquehanna Co., Penn., now known as West Clifford, 
which is now (1900) owned and occupied by William Hasbrouck, 
Jr. Selling this place in 1822, he took up a tract of new land 
on the hill northwest of the West Clifford schoolhouse, which 
comprised the farms owned in 1899 by his son Pulaski, and his 
grandson, Charles P. Chamberlin. His daughter, Catharine, 
dying about this time, he cleared a plot on his new possession 
and buried her there. That plot now holds the remains of him- 
self and wife, five daughters, his eldest and youngest sons, two 
daughter-in-laws, wives of the eldest son, besides other relatives 
and friends. 

During the following winter he cleared a portion of his land 
and erected a log house on the lower side of the Milford and 

85 


86 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


Owego turnpike near the location of Chas. P. Chamberlin’s new 
barn (1900) into which he moved the following spring. He 
remained on this place twenty-one years, clearing and improv- 
ing it. Within this time he built a new house on the opposite 
side of the road, a little in front of the house now occupied by 
his grandson, where he kept tavern for several years ; the farm- 
ers of Brooklyn and neighboring townships drew their grain 
to Carbondale, which was their principal market and usually 
put up a night each way. Although there was another tavern 
within a mile, his house was often filled to its utmost: the 
teamsters refused to go on as long as there was room for their 
teams, saying they were willing to sleep on the floor if they 
might stay. On cold wintry nights, the host added to the com- 
fort of his weary guests by sitting up and frequently replen- 
ishing the fire in the old-time fire-place with logs of wood. 

In those days deer, bears, and wolves ran through the woods 
at will and often came near the house. At one time, he saw 
two deer approaching his house by the path in the deep snow, 
made by hauling logs of wood. Aiming his trusty rifle through 
the door which his wife held partly open, he shot one of them. 
He often trapped for wolves and bears; at one time had seven 
wolf skins tacked upon his barn. One morning he set out with 
his dog to look for his cow. After proceeding for some dis- 
tance, he resolved to go to the trap which he had set for a bear. 
On reaching the spot he found the trap gone but following the 
trail soon discovered old Bruin under the upturned roots of a 
tree. Having neglected to bring his gun and being too far from 
the house to go for it, he procured a handspike and as the dog 
claimed the bear’s attention from one side, he would advance 
and deal him a severe blow with the handspike from the other, 
whereupon the bear would spring at him, causing him to make 
a hasty retreat, while the dog made an advance from his side, 
thus inducing the bear to turn for him again. After working 
in this way for some time they succeeded in killing the bear. 

Selling part of his place to his eldest son, Pulaski, in 1844, 
he moved into Lenox, an adjoining township, onto the place 
now (1900) owned and occupied by his grandson, Valentine W. 
Barber, situated about two miles below Lenoxville (then known 
as Doud Hollow), where for many years he kept the toll gate 
on the Lenox (more properly Lonsdale, as that is the eastern 
terminus of the road) and Brooklyn turnpike, where he re- 
mained until after the death of his wife, July 19, 1874. The 
remaining two years of his life were spent with his daughters.

He joined the Scottish Rite Masons in 1867 and

order. He attained the thirty-second degree and 
at the time of his death was Past Grand Master of 
the District; Past Grand High Priest of the Grand

In the early part of 1901, failing health compelled 
him to seek rest and in June he went to Arizona, 
hoping to recuperate; but instead of obtaining the 
desired result he continued to fail and passed away

THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


at Phoenix, Arizona, September 23 of the same year 
(1901). His remains were taken back to Washing- 
ton, D. C., where they lay in state in the large audi- 
torium of the Scottish Kite Cathedral, amid a pro- 
fusion of cut flowers and potted palms and sur- 
rounded by a guard of honor. At 12 o’clock the 
night following his arrival at Washington, the Ka- 
dosh Midnight Rite of the Ancient and Accepted 
Order of the Scottish Kite Masons, which is one of 
the most impressive ceremonies in the Masonic Order 
and one of the few to which the general public are 
admitted, was conducted over his remains by Sam- 
uel A. Aler, acting Venerable Master Kadosh, as- 
sisted by the members of the thirty-second degree 
lodge of Masons. 

The following morning at 8 o’clock the Knight 
Templars took charge of the remains and main- 
^ tained a guard of honor around the casket until the 
funeral which took place at the North Presbyterian 
Church at 1. p. m. that day (September 30, 1901), 
after which the remains were escorted to their last 
resting place in Rock Creek Cemetery by a guard 
of honor composed of the several Commanderies of 
the Knight Templars and also by the Sir Knights.

The following letter fully explains itself. 

Washington, D. C., August 9, 1894. 
Dear Cousin Emily: * 

I have been spending a few days at my Father’s at Green- 
wood ” and while at Aimt Mary’s was shown a letter from you, 
in which you speak of a proposed gathering at the home of your 
Brother Moses, of the descendants of Wright Chamberlin (my 
Grand-father) on the 16th of this month. You also cordially 
invited a representative of each family, my Father’s and Aunt 
Mary’s to be present on that occasion, or if that be impossible, 
a letter to be read at the gathering above mentioned and with 
one accord in both families the verdict appeared to be, that I 
should write. It is a task that might be a pleasant one, were 
I familiar with the family or its history, yet in the absence of 
such important facts is somewhat difficult. 

I remember with a great deal of pleasure mingled with a de- 


OLIVERS S DIV„ 2D GEN. FROM WRIGHT ^ 121 


gree of pride, the visit I made to Susquehannah County, now 
more than thirty years ago. Leaving home at a time when 
stern visaged war was holding sway in our State, when the 
choice was left to me to take up arms against my country or 
leave the home of my Father and cross the line of Mason and 
Dixon. I chose the latter. Perhaps my love of Country was 
greater than my love of State, or perhaps my love of self was 
greater than either, be that as it may, after days of travel 
and some privations, foot sore and weary I reached the home 
of my Father’s youth. The home of so many of his Brothers 
and Sisters, the home of many to whom I could rightly claim 
relationship. Beaching there a stranger in a strange land, un- 
experienced in the ways of the world, an uncouth, timid youth 
of twenty, I found in the bosoms of those Uncles, Aunts and 
Cousins hearts beating with the warmth of true kinship, hands 
stretched out to welcome me to those homes which seemed to 
have no limit in the hospitality extended to me as a member of 
the Chamberlin Family. I recall with pleasure the kind treat- 
ment I received at the hands of Uncle James, his son Silas and 
his family, both boys and girls whose names I do not now re- 
member, at the home given me by Mr. Trumbull Case, whose 
wife, if I remember rightly, was a daughter of Uncle Moses, 
and the cordial greeting I received at the hands of Uncle Moses 
himself, and during my sojourn in that County a short visit 
made to Uncle Levi who expressed pleasure in seeing a son of 
Oliver Chamberlin, and never can I forget the kind treatment 
received at the hands of your own family. Your Mother, Sis- 
ters, Brothers and yourself, untiring in your efforts to make my 
stay pleasant and successful, in making me feel that although 
in a strange part of our Country, I found among my relatives 
of Susquehannah true friends, ever ready and willing to dis- 
pense hospitality to their kindred, without regard to the size 
and condition of their purse. How I would enjoy being present 
with you upon so auspicious an occasion and join with the 
friends and relatives there assembled in commemoration the 
name of him whose descendants have adopted this very fitting 
and appropriate reunion. I regret that there is so little that 
I can add to this page in the family’s history. 

My Father (Oliver Chamberlin) with whom it has been my 
pleasure to spend a few days this week, is now in his eighty- 
eighth year, the oldest living, I believe, of his fathers’ chil- 
dren. He is in the enjoyment of fairly good health, and until 
a severe attack of the grippe about two and a half years ago. 


122 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


was probably the most vigorous man of his age in this Coun- 
try, having a very severe spell of the grippe, it left him some- 
what feeble, from which he has never fully recovered. He has 
three Daughters, one a widow living at Manassas, Va., two at 
home unmarried, two Sons, his oldest, Thomas having two chil- 
dren, one Daughter and one Son, and myself, having two Sons 
and one Daughter. My Mother died on the 11th of July 1890, 
now more than four years ago. 

I rarely visit my Father that I do not enjoy hearing him re- 
late anecdotes of his boyhood days, and he loves to dwell upon 
the scenes of his early life, when under the guidance and care 
of a Father whose aim was to have his children grow to years 
of manhood and womanhood, imbued with those principles of 
honesty, industry, and integrity, that go to make the upright 
man, the good citizen, the devoted husband, the kind, consid- 
erate and loving Father. To me of the third generation, these 
characteristics comes through my Father, all the ardor and 
earnestness of a life spent in duty to his family, his Country 
and his God. How truly can I say, that my Father (Oliver 
Chamberlin) the son of Wright Chamberlin, whose name and 
whose life suggests this assembling to-gether, has been a living 
example of those qualities of head and heart, that are such 
potent agencies in improving the normal condition of mankind 
and pointing us to that higher and nobler life beyond the skies. 

Aunt Mary Clarke, a Daughter of Wright Chamberlin, whose 
mother was his third wife, is living with her husband, one 
Daughter and one Son adjoining my Fathers. She has two 
other Sons not liviug at home. Her sons are all prosperous, 
business men, possessed of those qualities so often, indeed, so 
generally found in the Chamberlin family, industry, integrity 
and sobriety, which also characterizes her Husband and the 
family of Clarkes from which he comes. They two, like the 
Chamberlins, are people, active and energetic in the pursuits 
of life, — no drones to be found there — but ever on the alert 
for opportunities to better both their own condition and that of 
their fellows. Showing by both words and actions that they 
are not living for themselves alone, but that the world may be 
better for their living in it. 

To me there is a pride in bearing the name of Chamberlin, 
in being a member of that now large number, that may after a 
lapse of only about one hundred years since the marriage of 
Wright Chamberlin claims to be his descendants. Scattered as 
they are in almost every part of our Country, and all, so far as 


OLIVER* S DIV., 2D GEN. FROM WRIGHT ^ 123 


my knowledge goes, are men and women of enviable reputation, 
ambitious in maintaining a name that is unblemished, to hand 
down to the coming generations. 

On that day, the 16th, inst. my mind and thoughts will wan- 
der away to the large assemblage, gathered in old Susquehannah, 
and wish that I could participate in the enjoyment of that re- 
union, that I could commingle my feelings with those of the 
friends gathered to-gether upon so enjoyable an occasion. 

I enclose my picture quite recently taken — would have 
had others taken for the purpose but could not get them 
done in time to send with this. This is, however a striking 
likeness, but as I was wearing a jewel (the insignia of Free 
Masonry) would have preferred for such an occasion, to have 
sent a Photo without any decorations. 

I should be pleased to receive from as many of the friends 
assembled, as feel impressed to send them their pictures, that I 
might by proxy, at least, look into their faces and imagine the 
happy smile, the hearty greeting, the warm grasp of the hand 
that marks the gathering Chamberlin Clan, that I might knpw 
the features if I am never permitted to know in person the dear 
relatives who are gathered on that day. May the God who, 
through so many generations has guarded our family, have 3 ^ou 
in His holy keeping. May the present gathering incite each 
one present and the absent whose thoughts are with you, to live 
better and purer lives, stimulated by the recital of our family 
history, and may the Chamberlins of the future rival the Cham- 
berlins of the past in glory, honor and integrity, is the earnest 
wish of 


Your loving cousin

MARY,^ first daughter of Wright® and Mary (Billings) 
Chamberlin, born in Gibson, Susquehanna Co., Penn., June 4, 
1822; married in Philadelphia by Rev. A. Rood, February 21, 
1843, Thomas, fourth son of Seth and Mary Clarke, born in 
England, December 21, 1817; came to America with his parents 
in December, 1830, landing, after a six weeks’ voyage, at Phila- 
delphia; then journeyed into Susquehanna Co., Penn.; but 
returned to Philadelphia and was married there as above stated. 
In 1848, he purchased a part of the historic Belle Air ” tract 
in Virginia which at that time had gone back to a wilderness. 
Years of hard labor has made their farm one of the finest in 
that part of the State. 

Before the Civil War he became a member of the Greenwood 
Presbyterian church (the first church erected in that neigh- 
borhood) which he helped build. They were devoted Christians 
and the daily worship at the family altar was kept up for over 
half a century. He was especially known for his humane treat- 
ment of animals and for his benevolence to those who were in 
want. His last contribution was to the starving Finns; made 
only a few days before his death, February 7, 1903. His 
funeral was held at his home (near Minnieville, Prince William 
Co., Va.) February 9th; interment was on his own farm where 
he had lived for the last fifty-five years. 

During the Civil War, he served three years as a Union sol- 
dier in a District of Columbia regiment and was honorably dis- 
charged. Mrs. Clarke is a member of the Mount Vernon Chap- 
tor of the Daughters of the Revolution and is supposed to be 
the only real daughter of a soldier of the Revolution remaining 
in Virginia. (1913) Besides caring for their own family of 
seven children they brought up two girls, the youngest, only.

at St. Stephen’s Episcopal chapel in Manila, Philip- 
pine Islands, on March 29, 1904, by the Kev. M. C. 
Johnson, Edward F., son of Edward M. and Jose- 
phine M. (Bishop) Cheney, born at Jacksonville, 
Florida, April 18, 1870; attended the West Newton 
(Mass.) English and Classical school, the East 
Florida Seminary and the State Normal and Mili- 
tary school at Gainesville, Fla. In 1890, he went 
to Colorado, where he was interested in mining. In 
, 1898, he enlisted as a volunteer from Colorado to 


140 THE WBIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


serve his country in the Philippines, aided in both, 
the Spanish- American War and the Philippine In- 
surrection, in all, two years and ten months. His 
father, also, served two years and ten months in the 
Great Eebellion, entering as a private and being dis- 
charged as a Major. 

In response to my request, Mrs. Cheney furnished me the fol- 
lowing description of her journey from her parental home in 
Idaho Springs, Col., to her home in the Philippines, to be read 
at the family reunion of 1905 : 

I left Idaho Springs, Colorado, February 20, 1904, for San 
Francisco, via. the Southern Pacific Railroad, going within 
sight of Great Salt Lake and through snow sheds for several 
hours at a time and at one place in California, the train ran 
onto a big ferry boat and we were ferried across the strait. 
When we reached California, it was indeed, a great change and 
likewise, a great treat, coming out of snow banks right into a 
beautiful green country with beautiful flowers. 

.1 arrived in San Francisco, February 23, and found it very 
disagreeable, very rainy and muddy. We took the sight seeing 
car and went around the city, which was beautiful. We went 
out to the “ seal rocks and there first saw the ocean. What a 
grand sight it was ! I felt as if I could walk upon the waters, 

Golden Gate ” is grand. 

February 27, we sailed from San Francisco on the Pacific 
Mail Steamship, China. There were several hundred people 
and a band on the pier to see us sail. Laughter mingled with 
tears made the day one never to be forgotten. We bade adieu 
to our homeland and loved ones and now the great blue sea lies 
between us. 

After six days we arrived at Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands, 
and as the boat had to coal we remained twenty-four hours in 
port and took in the city. It is the most beautiful country I 
ever saw. The hills were as smooth as if they had been graded 
and looked as if a new green velvet carpet had just been spread 
over them. The most beautiful flowers grow there. At one 
place where we went there was a college, the grounds of which 
covered several blocks and was enclosed with a wall. On a 
great part of the ground the wonderful Night-blooming Cereus 
grew in great abundance. The native Hawaiian are of a medium 
dark brown complexion and about the stature of an American 
negro. They are very careless about their dress, especially, the 


ELIZABETH'S DIY., SB GEN. FROM WRIGHT « 141 


women. The Hawaiians have sotne fine buildings and a good 
electric car system. 

We left Honolulu March 5 and did not see land again until 
March 17, when we arrived at Yokohama, Japan; but owing to 
a sick headache I did not go ashore. Those who went reported 
a fine time and a beautiful place. There were about three hun- 
dred J apanese passengers on board in the steerage quarters who 
were going to Japan to take part in the war and most of them 
landed here. 

Our next stop was at Kobe, Japan. After leaving Yokohama 
we encountered very rough sea until we got to Kobe. It was 
no easy task to remain in bed at night as the boat lurched with 
such force one had to hold on tight to keep from being landed 
in the middle of the floor on our trunks and baggage which was 
having an unusual toboggan slide from one side of the room to 
the other. 

We arrived at Kobe at an early hour, March 19. After in- 
spection by the Doctor, we went ashore and spent the day. Had 
a lovely time although it rained nearly all day. We visited the 
museum which was very different from other museums I had 
seen, for one could buy anything. It was more like a large 
sample room. There are few horses or any beast of burden 
used there. The men turn themselves into horses, so to speak, 
for they do the work that horses ought to do. The only con- 
veyance to go around town with is a two wheeled covered cart 
called a jinrikisha and drawn by a man in which one can ride 
for ten cents an hour. They will follow you for blocks to get 
you to take a Jinrikisha. The streets are very narrow and run 
in all directions. Elegant china ware can be bought for a mere 
trifle here, for instance, I bought two beautiful teacups and 
saucers for which I paid 12% cents apiece. Beautiful drawn 
work and lace work sell at a meager price. We took our dinner 
at a real Japanese tea garden and such delicious tea as we had. 

March 21 found us at Nagasaki, Japan. We spent a pleas- 
ant day here but it was not nearly as pretty a place as Kobe. 
We visited the bazaar and fish market. The transport Sheridan 
was also in port here. March 23, we arrived at Shanghai, 
China, and as the river would not allow a large boat to go far- 
ther upstream than twelve miles we had to take a launch and 
go eighteen miles to get to the city of Shanghai. The English 
town of Shanghai is a pretty place but the old walled city of 
Shanghai is a more filthy place than one could ever imagine. 
There were people sick and sore lying along the streets and 


142 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBEELIN GENEALOGY 


canals of stagnant water and they would take off one suit of 
clothes and put on another in the street. In some places the 
streets were so narrow that two persons could scarcely walk 
abreast. Mere words cannot describe it. The Chinese are far 
beneath the Japanese in cleanliness and civilization. 

There were $300,000 in silver bricks of $1,000 each unloaded 
at this port. 

March 26 found us at Hong Kong, China. We went ashore 
and got our tickets for Manila as we had to change steamers; 
but owing to our staying here only a few hours we did not see 
more of the city than what could be seen from the bay. There 
were some very large buildings in sight. 

We left Hong Kong for Manila on the British steamer Zafiro, 
It was very crowded; but we had an unusually pleasant trip. 
It is usually very rough sea between Hong Kong and Manila 
but we were fortunate for the sea was like glass, it was so calm. 

We came to our journey^s end (Manila) on the morning of 
March 29. Mr. Cheney met me and had my baggage inspected 
on board which saved me going to the custom-house. After 
sapng good-by to my friends we were taken ashore on the Cus^ 
tom Launch. We remained in Manila a week and then started 
for Cuyo which was to be our future home. After visiting a 
number of places on the way, we arrived there at last and found 
that Mr. Cheney’s friends had decorated the house which he had 
prepared with palms and other greens. 

I have traveled over nearly all the southern part of this dis- 
trict with Mr. Cheney as he is Deputy Coast District Inspector 
of customs here and is obliged to travel a great deal. I have 
been within sixty miles of Borneo and to a number of places 
where no other white woman has ever been known to go. I 
am at present the only American woman for over 150 miles. 

The natives are dark brown complexion, small of stature, 
have straight hair and are the most lazy crowd I ever came 
across. They never look out for to-morrow or get any money 
ahead. They live mostly on fish and rice. Some of them learn 
very easily. They intermarry with the Americans, the Chinese 
and Japanese and also with the Spaniards; but they are not, 
in any respect, the equal of a true American. 

The tropical fruits, such as mangos, lankas, and several small 
fruits are very fine. Cocoanuts, hemp, rice, dye-woods and gums 
are in abundance here. 

Signed (Mrs.) Lizzie Kooken Cheney.

REMEMBRANCE,® first son and fifth child of Moses * 
Chamberlin [Nathaniel,® Joseph,® Richard^] and his wife, Je- 
mima® (Wright) [Remembrance,* Benjamin,® Serg. Samuel,® 
Dea. Samuel bom December 19, 1747, or about one year be- 
fore his father received a deed of land in Litchfield Co., Conn. ; 
was in Newbury, Vt., as early as 1772, for on November 20 
of that year he received, from Jacob Bayley, a deed of Lot No. 
2 in Sleepers Meadow, with the house lot l^longing to it, one 
50 acre and two 100 acre lots. He first built a log house and 
later a hotel and store, which he run for many years. His 
farm, which is north of Bedel’s bridge, remained in the family 
for three generations and was long since known as the Cham- 
berlain farm. 

During the Revolutionary War, he was a private in Col. Peter 
Olcott’s Reg. of Capt. John C. Bayley’s Co., from April, 1777, 
to March 6, 1779, serving 1 month, 19 days; was in Capt. 
Simeon Steven’s Co., for guarding and scouting, from May, 
1779, to May, 1781; and was 2d Lieut, in Capt. Frye Bayley’s 
Co., for guarding and scouting, from May, 1781, until end of 
war; was made 1st Lieutenant by Governor Chittenden (the 
original commission is owned by a descendant) and successively 
Captain, Major and Colonel in the militia. 

He married Elizabeth (Elliott) Johnson, daughter of Ed- 
mund and Mehitable (Worthen) Elliott of Chester, N. H., and 
widow of Haynes Johnson, born in 1751 and died February 8, 
18:29. Her descendants are proud of her and greatly admire 
her love for her children and indomitable courage when their 
lives or interests were at hazard and take great pleasure in tell- 
ing anecdotes of her early life. When first a bride, she jour- 
neyed from her parental home at Chester, N. H., to east central 


EEMEMBEmCE ^ CHAMBERLAIN

Vermont (the North Country, as it was then called) on horse- 
back, carrying a feather bed and a spinning wheel upon her 
horse. Haynes Johnson settled in Newbury, Vt., some time 
prior to 1770, as he is given as the head of a family there in 
that year. In those days, for all but the barest necessities of 
life, the men had to take long journeys to some more settled 
colony to get supplies and usually brought back a quantity for 
each of his neighbors. Mr. Johnson, returning from one of 
these trading expeditions, was taken very ill of cholera morbus 
at Concord, N. H., died, and was buried there, three weeks be- 
fore his wife heard what had befallen him. 

Being thus left with three small children, the youngest but 
a few weeks old, in a country exposed to the ravages of the In- 
dians and Tories, she decided to go hack to her father’s in Ches- 
ter, N. H. The journey had to be made on horseback and most 
of the way, by bridlepaths through the wilderness with marked 
trees as the only guide. The eldest boy rode upon a pillion be- 
hind her, the second one, she tied on in front and the baby, she 
carried in a sling in front of her. She forded streams that 
were so deep that the water washed into her shoes and some 
times she was obliged to remain in the woods all night. On 
one of these occasions she turned her horse loose and with her 
children crept under a cart-body that was turned up near the 
path, where she remained unmolested until morning, when she 
resumed her journey and arrived safely at her father’s. But 
hearing of no more trouble from the Indians, she returned to 
Newbury in about a year. The boys lived to grow up and each 
married a daughter of Capt. Ezekiel Sawyer of Bradford, Vt., — ■ 
Jonathan, born settled in Newbury, Vt., for his descend- 

ants see Wells* History of Newhury. Jessie, bom March 27, 
1773, and Haynes, born August 13, 1775, settled in Bradford, 
Vt. For their descendants see McKeen's History of Bradford. 

Eemembrance Chamberlain praised people for what they did 
even if the thing was done wrong. He was a hard worker, but 
he and his wife were very particular to keep the Sabbath. They 
were, probably, members of the church, joining it before the 
present records began as they brought up their family in strict 
Puritan principles. He died January 10, 1813.

REMEMBRANCE/ fourth son and seventh child of Col. Re- 
membrance® and Elizabeth [(Elliott) Johnson] Chamberlain, 
was bom in Newbury, Vt., December 2, 1789 ; graduated at Mid- 
dlebury College in 1814; became a Presbyterian minister and 
went to Georgia, where he married Mrs. Mehitable Peoples of 
Shady Side, Jasper Co., who owned a plantation and slaves. 
He rode to Georgia on horseback, afterwards returned to New- 
bury, Vt., and then went back to Georgia, using the same horse 
for each trip. He was a taU, slender man and always rode 
standing in the stirrups, with one hand resting on the saddle. 

At the time he visited Newbury, the feeling against slavery 
was intense, and because he held slaves, it was not thought best 
to permit him to preach in the church, so services at which he 
presided were held elsewhere. It is said that after the death of 
his wife, he gave the slaves their freedom, but not one would 
leave him until his death, which occurred in Decatur Co. (Ga.), 
March 4, 1855.

MOSES « CHAMBERLIN and DESCENDANTS. 

MOSES/ second son and sixth child of Moses* Chamberlin 
[Nathaniel/ Joseph/ Richard^] and wife, Jemima® (Wright) 
[Remembrance,* Benjamin,® Serg. Samuel,® Dea. Samuel^], was 
born in Litchfield County, Connecticut, December 10, 1749, but 
appears to have been a resident of Vermont before the Revolu- 
tionary War. Whether he served his country in any of the 
Vermont companies is not now known. Although the name, 
Moses Chamberlin, appears several times in the lists of Ver- 
mont soldiers, it is known that his father also served his country 
and in companies of that State. This Moses, however, kept a 
journal while in the army and the first one, herein given, tells 
of his whereabouts for the time it covers. (Others were lost in 
1837 by a Montrose (Penn.) editor who borrowed them for pub- 
lication, this one only, being saved by Mr. Chamberlin’s grand- 
son, William Warner, through the aid of a friend who, at that 
time, was employed in the printing office.)

When he applied for a pension, September 15, 1820, he 
stated that he enlisted in Massachusetts, January 1, 1776, as 
Sergeant in Capt. Benjamin Mannas Company, Col. James 
Eeed’s 2d regiment. New Hampshire Line, on the Continental 
Establishment and was discharged February 17, 1777, at Mor- 
ristown, N. J. 

His claim was allowed but his papers having been mislaid, 
he received a pension only as a private. After his death the 
papers were found and show that he was appointed, December 
15, 1777, Sergeant-Major, and in 1778 a 1st Lieutenant of Capt. 
Timothy Barron’s Co., Col. Timothy Bedel’s New Hampshire 
Eegiment. He was in the battle at Boston,” retreat out of 
Canada, Trenton, Princeton, and second Stillwater. 

The papers in the Bureau of Pensions at Washington, D. C., 
also state that he married. May 20, 1779, at Newbury, Vt., 
Abigail,* daughter of Simeon Stevens and died at Gibson, Sus- 
quehanna County, Pennsylvania, February 14, 1832. His 
widow applied for a pension March 6, 1837, at which time she 
was seventy-three years of age (bom October 5, 1763) and re- 
sided with her youngest son, Samuel S., at Gibson. Her claim

was allowed for her husband’s service of one year as Sergeant 
and one year as Lieutenant. The arrears of her pension were 
‘'paid to eight of nine children of Abigail Chamberhn, de- 
ceased to April 12, 1840.” 

Mr. Chamberlin had as trophies of the war, a saw, a sword 
and a pod-auger which, after his death were in the possession 
of his son Samuel S., who left them in the possession of his son 
Williston Chamberlin, who now owns and occupies his grand- 
father’s farm in Gibson. 

Moses Chamberlin was so intensely loyal to his country that 
he could see nothing commendable in an Englishman, espe- 
cially the king, whom he blamed for all the horrors of the Kevo- 
lutionary War. When news of the death of the king, George 
III. came, he expressed the liveliest satisfaction and seemed to 
feel that a new era of prosperity would begin now that the old 
tyrant was out of the way. 

He was a very charitable man, giving wherever help was 
needed. For several years he provided for a sister-in-law and 
her small children and later in life they usually had one or two 
grandchildren with them for a year or two at a time while 
the parents were struggling with the privations of a new home 
in the wilderness. Although a godly man, he was not a mem- 
ber of a church until late in life. He always attended meeting 
when it was possible and often, while living in Vermont, would 
walk twenty miles to and from church. The following de- 
scription of his uniting wth the church was given in a letter 
to Miss Anna P. Warner by the late Alonzo Abel, husband of 
Moses C.’s granddaughter, Harriet H. Warner, who formerly 
lived in Gibson and was present on that occasion. Mr. Cham- 
berlin’s grandson, William F. Warner, a lad of about 13 years, 
was admitted into the church at the same time. Mr. Abel 
wrote : 

“ I remember him as a very venerable old gentleman and re- 
member as distinctly as the things of yesterday when he and 
William united with the church in the old Toad Hill Meeting 
House in Gibson. He standing with both his hands on the 
head of his staff, with bowed head, and William standing at his 
right hand and occasionally gazing up into that solemn face 
as though all the interest of the occasion was centered in the 
vows that that octogenarian was taking upon himself, just as 
he was bidding farewell to the world. It was an interesting 
sight to see that aged grandsire and that little grandson — one 


196 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


about to say farewell to earth, and the other just entering upon 
what proved to be an arduous and eventful life/^ 

In 1782, this Moses Chamberlin bought a farm of Nehemiah 
Loville for 300 Spanish dollars, it being a part of that tract 
of land which King George III. named Township of Moore 
Town^^ in 1770 and described its location as being ‘^on west 
side of Connecticut Kiver, in County of Gloucester, within our 
Province of New York.^^ The name of township which is now 
in Orange County, Vt., was changed to Bradford by the Gen- 
eral Assembly of Vermont in November, 1788. Here he held, 
at different times, nearly all of the town offices; was town clerk 
for 1794-95-96-97; and was one of the thirty-two citizens who 
signed a petition to the Legislature of Vermont, to establish a 
Library Corporation in that town, December 10, 1796. 

On December 28, 1802, he sold his farm to his nephew, Capt. 
Moses Chamberlin [the place which is now (1909) owned by 
Frank 0. Kennedy, is still known as the Moses Chamberlin 
farm] and in 1803 removed to Greensboro, Orleans Co., Vt., 
where he remained about three years, then removed to Hard- 
wick, Caledonia Co., Vermont. In the spring of 1811, he vis- 
ited northern New York and later moved his family to Con- 
stable, Franklin Co., of that state, but as this section of country 
was subject to the ravages of the enemy stationed in Canada, 
he removed to Gibson, Susquehanna Co., Pennsylvania, in the * 
spring of 1814, where he spent the remainder of his life on the 
farm later owned by his youngest son, Samuel S., and now by 
his grandson, Williston A. Chamberlin. Moses C. was justice 
of the peace in Gibson and was usually called Esquire Cham- 
berlin.

Shepard, eldest daughter of Dea. Moses and Jemima (Wright) 
Chamberlin. Mr. Stevens died July 6, 1788, aged 52 years, 
and was buried in Newbury, Vt. On his gravestone his name 
is spelled Stephens and it is said he sometimes wrote it that 
way. 

Mrs. Chamberlin’s paternal grandparents were Otho Stevens, 
who with his brother, Simeon came from Wales to Plymouth, 
Mass., between 1710 and 1715 and married Abigail* Kent [Jo-

Kent; and Thomas^ Kent and wife who came from England 
before 1643, to town Essex, where he died May 1, 1656. His 
widow died October 16, 1671.] 

Mrs. Chamberlin’s sister Judith married George Washington 
Stone; had several children, one Malvina married Eev. William 
Arthur and their son, Chester A. became president of the United

learned about this branch of the family. The only known ad-

Miss Anna P., daughter of Abigail (Chamberlin) Warner 
wrote me : I remember my Aunt Cady very well, a bright old 
lady. She and my Aunt, Mrs. Ring, drove from Gibson and 
made us a visit here (Waverly, N. Y.), when they were quite 
elderly. I have never known any of their descendants.’’ 

One of their sons was an editor in St. Louis, Mo., for some 
time, where he was occasionally met by Rev. William Chamber- 
lin during the years between 1839 and 1845 while Mr. C. lived 
in Monticello, now Godfrey, Illinois. Mr. Cady was called 
The Handsome Editor.” 

Another son, William Albert, died in May, 1907.

ABIGAIL" CHAMBEELIN-WAKNEK’S DIVISION. 

(Moses ®) 

ABIGAIL/ third daughter and fifth child of Moses ® and 
Abigail (Stevens) Chamberlin, born in Newbury, Vt., May 10^ 
1788; married at Hardwick, Vt., in April, 1812, as 2d wife, 
Samuel Warner, bom at New Braintree, Worcester Co., Mass., 
August 22, 1779. After this marriage, he moved back to New 
Braintree and in 1818, to Athens township, Bradford Co., Penn.^ 
where, in the valley of the Susquehanna Eiver, they spent the 
remainder of their lives; it being Mrs. Warner’s principal home 
for sixty-four years. 

Their birth and education prepared them for training and 
educating their large family of boys and girls in a new part of 
the country, a task which they performed with careful and 
exemplary faithfulness. Both were earnest Christian charac- 
ters and for upwards of sixty-five years Mr. Warner was an 
elder in the Presbyterian church and was an infiuential member 
of the Presbytery and Synod of that church. Mr. W. died in 
Binghamton, N. Y., May 12, 1871. (For his 1st family see 
end of this section.) 

Mrs. Warner’s last days were illuminated by the strong assur- 
ance of the faith and hope in which she had lived during many 
years of her long pilgrimage. Beautiful were the utterances of 
her love to her Eedeemer, as she saw the shade of the night of 
death approaching. As long as she could articulate they could 
hear her intense assertions : do love my Lord ! I love ! I 

love!” ‘^Beautiful, Glorious!” were frequent ejaculations; 
but whether of something spiritually seen or spoken of the 
tmths on which her soul rested could not be known. Quota- 
tions from hymns and Scripture gave her great pleasure and she 
would often join in the repetition as on one occasion after a 
painful effort to clear her throat of some obstmction, one sitting

by ber repeated Cease fond nature ! cease thy strife and let me 
languish into life ! ” She joined in the last line most impres- 
sively and afterwards frequently whispered, Let me ! let me ! " 
She died at Waverly, N. Y., May 7, 1822, and her remains were 
placed in the cemetery called The Kest,^’ at Milltown, on 
May 10, — the ninety-fourth anniversary of her birth. 

The Eevs. William A. Niles, D.D., of Hornellsville, P. C. 
Hulbert and Chas. Seymore of Waverly (N. Y.) officiated at 
the services. Rev. William H. Santee of the Presbyterian 
church of Athens was also present, representing the church 
where she had been a member for nearly half a century.

under the supervision of Mrs. Palmer. A few years 
later one of her cousins, Miss Ingalls, who had 
opened a school in Binghamton called The River- 
side Seminary” desired her assistance. Here she 
remained nine years ; when poor health compelled her 
to seek rest. After remaining at home with her 
parents at Binghamton a year or two, she with two 
other ladies opened a school in Bound Brook, N. J. ; 
but losing her voice she was obliged to give up all 
school work. 

After the death of her father, she with her sister, 
Mrs. Hinman, and their mother removed to Waver ly, 
N. Y., where she spent the remainder of her life. 
During the summer of 1907 her health was notice- 
ably failing and before September 20, she had been 
induced by her friends to go to The Bluffs,” Tioga 
Center, N. Y., for rest which appeared to benefit her ; 
but a fall received after returning to her home ap- 
peared to hasten her decline and she passed away 
February 14, 1908. 

(She furnished me the remnant of the journal 
kept by her grandfather, Moses Chamberlin, while 
he was in the Revolutionary War as herein given. 
The rest of the journal was lost or destroyed by a 
Montrose (Penn.) editor who borrowed it for publi- 
cation in 1857.)

Mrs. Hinman was the last surviving member of this 
family and after a year of gradual decline, both 
physically and mentally, passed away July 28, 1913. 
Her last conscious act was the repeating of the 23d 
Psalm. Family 6, next gen.

PAET SECOND, BRANCH III 


SECTION 4 

WILLIAM 1 CHAMBEELIN^S DIVISION. (Moses 0 

WILLIAM/ third son and sixth child of Moses ® and Abigail 
(Stevens) Chamberlin, was born in Newbury, Orange County, 
Vt., February 20, 1791. The next year his parents removed to 
Bradford in the same county, where they lived until 1803, when 
they removed to Greensboro, Orleaus County, Vt., where they 
remained until 1806; then removed to Hardwick, Caledonia 
County, Vt. It was here, at the age of 19 years, that he experi- 
enced that great change which resulted in determining his lifers 
work. (He left in his own handwriting a full account of his 
conscience on this occasion.) The most important points were 
as follows: 

“ I was, from a child, very light and much inclined to put 
serious thoughts from my mind; but God by his spirit used 
frequently to warn me and at times my fears were almost un- 
bearable. In the spring of 1810 I was tending a saw-mill on 
river. La Mort. The banks were more than full and the stream 
rushed down the craggy rocks with the greatest impetuosity. 
When the saw had gone through the log and I was prepared to 
cut another hoard, I hoisted the gate in vain. The mill would 
' not start. I knew not the cause then nor do I now, unless God 
designed it to bring me to a sense of my danger. Wlien I found 
the mill would not start, I engaged a man to assist me in search- 
rfL iim for the cause. We stopped the water from the flume and 
^I^ent down to see if any thing had gotten between the wheel 
and the apron. I found nothing. I then went down upon the 
•♦’^Sv'heel and began my search there. While lying upon the wheel, 
I heard, suddenly, a roaring of water which sounded differently 
frdm the elements about me and felt it dash in my face — I was 
not alarmed, but perfectly selfpossessed. I am conscious of no 
effort of my own in removing from that wheel. The flrst I can 
remember of my own exertion in the matter, I was standing 

223 


224 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


clear of the wheel from which I had but that instant escaped, 
holding on to some timber, while the wheel itself was revolving 
with the greatest velocity. 

^^My neighbor was over my head witnessing the scene. He 
heard the noise and looking down saw the flume full of water, 
then looking at me, saw my last foot leave the wheel the moment 
it started. 

The upper gates had given away, the flume was fllled at a 
dash and the gates over the wheel being open, a full head of 
water was instantly precipitated upon it, causing it to fly round 
with frightful speed. While looking at that wheel, I felt that 
I was a miserable sinner and that there was a God in heaven 
whom I determined to seek. I thought of the privileges I en- 
joyed and resolved within myself to have religion. I thought 
that by making one prayer I could become a Christian. That 
prayer I determined to make that night and, accordingly, re- 
tired for that purpose ; but to my amazement, I found I had no 
heart to pray. I felt ashamed and confounded and, after much 
difiiculty and many struggles, got upon my knees ; but even then 
was ashamed to pray and, finally, retired having offered no 
prayer. Then from thinking I could get religion when I chose, 
I was tempted to think it was impossible for me to be a Chris- 
tian. My seriousness, however, continued and soon I began to 
entertain a good opinion of myself, to think I was not as wicked 
as many others, and found it impossible to realize I was a sinner. 

"A singular delusion seized me. I fancied I must commit 
some atrocious crime in order to feel I was a sinner. While 
thinking, one day, what act of sin to commit in order to bring 
upon myself a sense of guilt all at once my sins stared me in 
the face. I saw I was fighting against God and all holy beings 
and that I had already committed sin enough to sink me in 
everlasting ruin. From this time my convictions became more 
pungent. I, however, had many struggles with myself before I 
could give up my former companions and worldly amusements ; 
but, finally, unbosomed myself to a pious friend from whom I 
derived great benefit.^’ 

He entertained a hope that he was, indeed, bom of God and 
united with the Congregational church at Hardwick, Vermont. 

In the spring of 1811, he went with his father and brother to 
the northern part of New York. The first part of the summer 
he worked at carpentering and the latter part he was engaged 
in rafting on the Salmon and St. Lawrence rivers. One day, 
when near Quebec, their raft was wrecked, one man was drown^ 


WILLI AW8 DIV., 1ST GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 225 


and the rest saved with great diflhculty. After this disaster he 
returned to Hardwick. 

In March, 1813, he went to Silver Creek, Susquehanna County, 
Penn., where he purchased a lot of land and spent the summer 
in manual labor. On the Sabbath, he was engaged in Sunday- 
school and, with others, in conducting religious meetings. Dur- 
ing the two following winters, he was employed in teaching 
school in Bridgewater of the above named county and in the 
intervening summer, according to his journal, he was employed 
in some business connected with the sale of lands. 

In his school he labored for the spiritual good of his pupils 
by the old practice of catechizing them every week. He also 
held a weekly meeting for the young people. 

He set a high value on familiar Christian intercourse. On 
this subject he entered in his journal the following remark: 

I think Christians frequently lose a great part of the enjoy- 
ment which they might have in each other, by keeping at such a 
distance. It is evident that the glory of the Christian is his 
secret character. I say secret, because it is that which does not 
appear openly to the world, yet it is discoverable to those who 
are of like character with himself, whenever that familiarity is 
used which ought to be among Christians. Often the most emi- 
nent Christian pass by us unnoticed because of some outward 
appearance, or some ungrounded prejudice, which a little fa- 
miliar conversation would effectually remove. 0, blessed Jesus, 
may I have wisdom to know thy children and grace to love 
them.’^ 

While he was at Bridgewater, the desire of becoming a minis- 
ter in which he had indulged at different times since his con- 
version took a definite shape. Accordiugly, at the close of his 
second winter term of school, April, 1815, he set out with his 
pack on his back for Wilkes-Barre, Penn., to enter the Academy 
there. 

His means were exceedingly limited. On this point he notes : 
“ I have but nineteen dollars in money and a note against a man 
for twenty more. I can expect no help from my parents. I, 
therefore, have only to look to God and I think I am better off 
than though I had property; for then I might run in on my 
own strength; but now I can go but just as far and as fast as 
God will have me; so that if he has any work for me to do, he 
will provide the means for my education. If otherwise, I shall 
be obliged to stop. I think, therefore, I have the greatest reason 
to bless God that I am in just such a situation as I am.’’ 


226 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


At Wilkes-Barre, he boarded in the family of Kev. Ard Hoyt, 
a member of the Susquehanna Presbytery, who received a call to 
the Wilkes-Barre church in 1805 and remained there until 1817. 
Mr. Chamberlin attended the Academy until September, 1816. 
He then engaged in teaching. (He kept no record of events 
from this time until December, 1817.) 

On September 17, 1817, he was licensed to preach and on 
November 12, of the same year, he was ordained by the Susque- 
hanna Presbytery at Harford, Susquehanna County, Penn., To 
preach the gospel to the Aborigines.’^ 

He joined the Cherokee Mission in company with Rev. Ard 
Hoyt who, with his family, sailed down the Atlantic coast to 
some point east of the Cherokee Nation where they landed and 
took their way westward to Brainerd, a mission station situated 
on the Chickamauga Creek in southeastern Tennessee where 
their coming was anxiously awaited as work was plenty and 
laborers few. 

Situated on the stream at this place, were a grist-mill and a 
saw-mill, while a little distance from the bank and at some dis- 
tance from each other were two cottages for the families of -the 
mUlers. The main Mission Station was buUt upon a hill about 
one-fourth of a mile from the stream. Here was a house on 
each side of the main Mission, one for girls and the other for 
boys. When the Hoyt family arrived, there were thirty-two 
children in each school and Miss Flora Hoyt was given charge 
of the girls whom she found very interesting. 

Our young missionary, however, did not go by water. He 
was on his way by December, 1817, and took an overland route, 
acting as agent for the Board and preaching here and there along 
the way. He, thus, traveled very slowly and did not reach his 
destination until March 10, 1818, where he was most cordially 
received by the missionaries among whom were Kinsbury and 
Hall.” 

In the Public Assembly, on the Sabbath, March 22, 1818, he 
married Miss Flora, daughter of Rev. Ard and Esther (Booth) 
Hoyt. The ceremony was performed by his father-in-law. 
Mrs. Chamberlin was born at Danbury, Connecticut, July 7, 
1798; survived him and died in November, 1886. (Their 
daughter wrote me, ^^Do you wonder what they had for their 
wedding dinner ? I have heard my Mother say, ^ I had pork 
and beans, baked.’ ”) 

William Chamberlin was given charge of the thirty-two Indian 
boys for awhile, until some one else came to attend to them. As 


WILLIAW8 D1V„ IST OEN, FROM MOSES ® 227 


he was strong and healthy and his whole heart was in his work, 
it was not long before he was on horseback riding from place 
to place, gathering the Indians together, preaching and teach- 
ing. It was a very rough country with few roads of any kind 
and subject to heavy rains, but he was a good swimmer. For 
this attainment the Indians named him “ Otter 

About 1821 or 2 the American Board concluded to have 
smaller stations located through the Nation and he was sent to 
locate one in Alabama in what was then called WilFs Valley. 
The neighbors clubbed together and built two good sized log 
houses with chimneys and a good tight board roof. The lumber 
was taken from Brainerd over fifiy miles and across the Lookout 
Mountain. He sent the lumber and some of his things on, then 
took his family and brother-in-law, a lad of 12 or 14 years of 
age, and the remaining things and started for his new home, 
which afterwards was called Wills Town. (A small stream in 
Northeastern Alabama still bears the name. Wills Creek.) His 
wagon broke and but a few of their things could be taken 
through. Later the American Board sent I&v. Ard Hoyt and 
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis, sister of Mrs. Chamberlin, to Wills Town. 
This gave Mr. C. liberty to resume his travels among the In- 
dians. Following are some of the hardships he encountered 
while on these journeys: 

At times it was impossible to get anything to eat. One time 
he lived two weeks on boiled green corn. 

Once while traveling with his wife, the first evening they had 
nothing but cucumbers for supper, and breakfasted next morn- 
ing upon roasted com. At noon they stopped at a log cabin 
and dined on com soup. They spent that night at the dwelling 
of the principal chief and fared well, both evening and morning. 
The next day they were obliged to ride all day in the rain with- 
out anything to eat. They ate a watermelon for their supper, 
then spreading their blankets down upon the puncheon fioor of 
a deserted cabin and converting their saddles into pillows, slept, 
or rather, tried to sleep quite comfortably. The next morning 
they left before breakfast and reached home about eleven o’clock. 

in traveling over a table mountain, twelve miles long, he lost 
his way and wandered most of the night in search of a path. 
Having, at last, found one he succeeded, with great difficulty, in 
descending the mountain and obtained shelter in a deserted 
cabin. After some exertion he lighted a fire and slept before 
it on his blanket. The next morning he discovered the loss of 
his watch and, although very much fatigued and suffering from 


228 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


hunger, he resolved to return for it. He observed in one place 
the tracks of his horse for some distance, on the very edge of a 
precipice fifty feet high and remembered having urged his horse 
in the direction of the chasm. He reached home about noon, 
having eaten nothing since the morning before. 

At another time, he was riding with his wife and two children 
on horseback. It rained all day and towards evening the horse 
upon which his wife and little girl, four years old, were riding 
took fright and threw them off. Being considerably injured by 
the fall, they were delayed in their journey, so that night over- 
took them before reaching the house at which they had intendedi 
putting up. It was a very cold night in February and about 9 
o’clock. On account of the water which concealed the paths 
from view, they lost their way. Although afraid to stay out all 
night, not only on account of the cold but for fear of wild ani- 
mals, he gathered together several pine knots and took from his 
pocket a flint and some punk with which he tried to strike fire; 
but his hands were so numb that he lost them. He then shielded 
his wife and children from the storm with the blankets and 
saddles and stationed himself at their feet as sentinel. Toward 
morning, he took off his coat and placed it over his children. 
He heard a loud yell which he supposed to be the whoop of an 
Indian. He replied and received an answer three times; but 
fearing lest it might be a panther he ceased from calling. The 
next morning the cold had almost deprived them of speech. He 
led his horses around several times until they became less stiff 
and then rode a mile to a Moravian Mission Station. 

Once when traveling towards home from Turnip Mountain, 
thirty miles distant, he found the creeks and mountain streams 
swollen by recent rains to an unusual height. He took a cir- 
cuit route, hoping to find a boat in which to cross the princi- 
pal stream. After passing over, he found, on acccount of in- 
creasing darkness, considerable difficulty in keeping the road. 
He entered, as he supposed, a small creek and after swimming 
his horse about one hundred rods, came to a more elevated spot 
of land and on looking about him as well as the darkness would 
permit, concluded that he had already passed over the larger 
part of the water and therefore urged his horse forward. In 
an instant he plunged beneath the waves, remaining in one 
position for several minutes, kicking violently. Supposing the 
horse’s feet to be entangled in grapevines, he vainly endeavored 
to unfasten from his neck a large and heavy cloak, which was 
lined throughout with broadcloth. Finding this impossible, he 


WILL1AW8 D1V„ 18T GEN. FROM M08E8 ® 229 


rose in his saddle and threw himself as far as possible into the 
river. When nearly exhausted, he reached the opposite shore 
where he clung to an overhanging branch until he became some- 
what rested and then passing from one branch to another, finally, 
pulled himself up the perpendicular bank. Here he found his 
horse waiting for him; but his saddle-bags with his clothes, 
books and papers were gone. 

He rode eight or nine miles to a hut in which he found an 
Indian hunter who, like himself had been belated. After sev- 
eral fruitless attempts to kindle a fire they spread their blankets 
and slept in their wet clothes. About three months afterwards 
an Indian found his saddle-bags hanging in the branches of a 
tree thirty feet from the ground. The papers were ruined but 
his clothes were uninjured. (The foregoing incidents were 
taken from the Alton Presbytery Reporter of 1849, which con- 
tained other items taken from the journal kept by Mr. Cham- 
berlin. ) 

The Presbyterians of Northern Alabama sent Mr. Chamberlin 
to the General Assembly which met in Philadelphia in 1834 or 5 
at which time, it is believed, he visited his aged mother in Gib- 
son, Susquehanna Co., Penn. 

In 1838, when the Indians were preparing to remove to lands 
west of the Mississippi he sent his wife and four of their chil- 
dren, Nelson, a boy of about sixteen years, Abigail, Flora and 
William, Jr., then a baby, in a one-horse carriage, overland, to 
Pennsylvania. His daughters, Catharine and Annie, came 
North the year before and he followed later in the year 1838, 
having continued his work among the Cherokees as long as they 
remained in their old home. At this time they were the most 
civilized and tractable of the native tribes. They had towns, 
schools and a code of their own and had adopted, to a great ex- 
tent, the manners and customs of the whites. 

A few incidents relating to their life among the Indians, 
given by living members of this family, are as follows : 

One time when Mr. Chamberlin was away from home, Mrs. C. 
was left with her two small children and her boy brother for 
company. That night she barricaded the one door of their house 
with boxes and trunks before retiring. Some one came and 
knocked for admittance. She refused him under some pretense 
not .now remembered, when he explained to her that he had been 
riding hard all day in the rain to get to that particular place as 
he had been directed there. He had a quantity of money in bills 
all of which were wet and there was no other place where he 


230 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


dared dry them. She let him in and he spread the tills out 
before the fire in the fireplace and dried them. 

At another time Mr. Chamberlin was taken, suddenly, very 
sick and was delirious. It was night and very dark. There 
was no one in the house with him except his wife and their two 
oldest children, the youngest not yet able to walk. To keep the 
baby from the fire while she hurried to her brother's, a mile away, 
for help, Mrs. C. put the child in the middle of the overturned 
table where he remained, crying, until she returned. 

By the time the Government wished to remove the Cherokees 
to Indian Territory, there was a town within a mile on each 
side of Mr. Chamberlin’s residence. Each town had a saloon 
and young Indian men would get drunk and go whooping past 
their house in their drunken frolic. They were always on horse- 
back. In front of the house was quite a long grassy lawn. Mr. 
C. had a watering trough put up by the side of the road, which 
was raised just high enough for horses to drink comfortably. 
The water came from a spring in a cave which was in the side 
of Lookout Mountain near its base, and run through bored cedar 
logs joined together and laid in a covered ditch to the house 
and thence to the road, entering the trough through a cane tube 
placed in the center of the trough and rising above the water so 
that persons passing could get a cool refreshing drink. 

He knew that alcoholic drinks made men thirsty so he printed 
this verse and pasted it on a card which he nailed on a post just 
above the drinking place : 

To this temperance fountain come. 

Better far than gin or rum, 

Whisky, brandy, wine or beer — 

All will find a rival here. 

If this truth you can’t embrace. 

Let your horse decide the case. 

Time and again the sign was torn down or cut and slashed 
with knives; but he was persistent and would immediately put 
up its duplicate. During his absence, his- son. Nelson, replaced 
it. One day some white men who were tramping came up to 
the door and asked for brandy or whisky. The son met them 
and thoroughly amazed at their request, answered, We do not 
keep them here.” They retorted, ^^Why is that sign there if 
you do not keep them?” The boy then understood that they 
had been able to spell out only a few of the words and told them 
they had better go back and read it again. 

After spending the winter of 1838-39 with friends in Penn- 


WILLIAM^ 8 DIV., 1ST GEN, FROM MOSES ^ 231 


sylvania and Vermont, Mr. Chamberlin and his wife set out with 
a one-horse wagon for the Indian Territory now the home of 
the Cherokees. The incidents of the journey and the immedi- 
ate result of the undertaking is best given by two letters written 
by him to his relatives in Gibson, Penn. The condition of the 
country, the means of travel and the facilities for transmitting 
were very different from what they are to-day. Each letter was 
written on foolscap paper and folded to form its own envelope 
and the postage on each was twenty-five cents. The originals 
have been treasured these many years by his sister, Mrs. Susan 
Buck, her daughter, Mrs. Maria S. Grimes, and are now in the 
possession of Mrs. Susan E. Hall, daughter of Mrs. Grimes. 

Carlinville, Maucoupin Co., 111. 

October 24, 1839. 

Mr. Samuel S. Chamberlin, ) 

Gibson, Pa. J 

Dear brother : 

Perhaps you are begin- 
ning to think I am neglecting you and our other friends in that 
country. One reason for my delaying to write so long has been 
that we were so unsettled that we did not know where to instruct 
you to direct letters to us; but we can now say that if you will 
direct according to the heading of this letter we shall, probably, 
receive all you write for some time to come. 

You and my other friends will doubtless, wish to know how 
we came to be here, and how we got along on our journey &c. 
When we started from New York we had no other thought but 
to go on to the Cherokee Nation. We went on very well, averag- 
ing more than 30 miles per day until we got to Pittsburg, 387 
miles from New York. We there took a steam boat and went 
down the river as far as Eipley, Ohio, it being by water 414% 
miles. We started from Pittsburg on the evening of the 29th 
of May and arrived at Eipley on the morning of the 1st of June. 
We staid in Ohio ii^th our friends until the 1st of July. We 
then set out again for the Cherokees accompanied by Br. Milo 
Hoyt’s wife and four of her daughters so that my cares were 
just double what they were before. Br. Milo was calculating to 
come to the nation with the remainder of his family in the 
fall. 

We got along on our journey very well averaging more than 
30 miles per day until we got to St. Louis, 388 miles from Wash- 
ington, Ohio and Washington is about 200 miles from Pitts- 


232 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


burg by land and Pittsburg being 387 miles from N. Y. makes 
it by land from N. Y. to St. Louis 975 miles. 

I am the more particular in this that you may know the dis- 
tance when you come to move to this country. Our expense 
from N. Y. to St. Louis for one horse, three grown persons and 
a child including a new pair of elliptic springs and several arti- 
cles of wearing apparel was $.112.52%. 

At St. Louis, speahing after, the manner of men we should 
say our fortunes changed. Kailroad got hadly foundered. He 
had been gaining all the way from N. Y. and was in fine plight 
but now for several days we thought him no better than a dead 
horse. We got along however about 50 miles west of St. Louis 
and then turned back on account of news which we heard from 
the Cherokees. You have, no doubt, seen the same in the public 
journals. There was however some exageration in the first ac- 
counts. It is true that Major Ridge and Mr. Bondinot were 
kiUed. There was an effort made to kill Mr. Ross and Mr. 
Gunter but it was prevented ; still they are in an unsettled state 
and probably will be for several years to come. I have therefore 
come hack to this state hired a house in Carlinville for my family 
and have engaged for six months as agent for the foreign Mis- 
sionary Society of the valley of the Mississippi, Auxiliary to the 
A. B. B. F. M. 

Now before you remove to this country you, doubtless, would 
like to learn something about it. I will try to set it before you 
as plain as I can and then you can judge for yourself. First 
this country was a vast lake or inland sea. For many years the 
Missouri rolled its muddy waters into this sea and deposited the 
soil from the upper countries in its bottom until it was nearly 
filled up. The outlet which was the majestic Mississippi by 
degrees wore down its channel until this sea was finally drained 
off. The water in passing off has formed channels for them- 
selves which are of course lower than the rest of the country. 
All along these channels timber has sprung up from seed, doubt- 
less that have been scattered by squirrels and other animals that 
have inhabited along the water courses while the seeds of grass 
and different kinds of plants have been scattered all over the 
country by birds and the wind. 

The Aborigines of this country have, since they came, by their 
annual fires in the grass prevented the further spread of the tim- 
ber. You will see that the highest land is all prairie and as 
near level as the troubled waters would be likely to deposit their 
muddy soil. Many of these prairies are very large. When you 


WILLIAM^S DIV., 1ST GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 233 


go out upon them it is like going out at sea you soon lose sight 
of the timber and then you are surrounded by an ocean of grass 
and herbs of every description. Sometimes you will see in the 
distance a lone tree which has withstood the annual fires. This 
will remind you of a sail at sea. At any place on these prairies 
you may dig down and without meeting a stone or stick or any 
other obstruction you will invariably find water from ten to 
twenty feet from the surface. The soil on these prairies is all 
alike excepting where the surface is too level for the water to 
drain off quick, here it is rather too wet for tilling. When you 
recollect how this soil is formed you will see at once that it must 
be exceedingly mellow and rich as soon as the turf is broken and 
it has time to dry. 

It requires from three to five yoke of oxen to break the turf 
after that one horse is sufficient. A man who commences a farm 
here has this advantage over those who commence in other new 
countries. He has an abundance of pasture and mowing all 
around him at the start but in many places timber for fencing 
and building is very scarce. It costs a great deal to build as 
the material and all kinds of labor are very high. You cannot 
get a common laborer short of a dollar a day and mechanics 
accordingly. Grain is very low: wheat at this time is 50 to 
62% cents, corn 20 cents &c. 

There is but little land which has not been entered by specu- 
lators but those who are acquainted can still find land enough at 
government price which is $1.25. So you see that there are ad- 
vantages and disadvantages here, which are the greatest I cer- 
tainly cannot tell. 

The inhabitants in this country are from all parts of the coun- 
try and there are all sorts of people here. In riding about I 
often meet with some of my acquaintances both from the north 
and south. I saw in St. Louis, Cirrel Cady, two of Ephraim 
Stevens’ * sons and Wm. Risley and the other day I met with 
Mr. Eastibrook our former singing master in Hardwick. He 
lives but a few miles from here. 

We have lately received a letter from N. Y. giving us the 
mournful intelligence of the death of Mrs. Woodward, the 
woman with whom we left Abigail and Flora Jane. We, prob- 
ably, shall be obliged to send for the girls. This is a changing 
world. It is dangerous placing any confidence in things here 
below. I think much of our dear mother and almost tremble as 

* See Part Second, Branch II, Section 7, 1st and 2d gen. 


234 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


I mention her for fear that she is gone. If she is yet alive tell 
her that I and my family all love her and long to hear from her, 
and she must make you or Br. Buck or Sr. Susan or Sr. Bhoda 
or all of you write to us as soon as you receive this. I have not 
heard of uncle Wright^s death but presume he has long since 
gone home. Give my love to all his family. Uncle Ingals too 
if living and his family, and as many of my Harford friends as 
you shall see. Tell them that I remember them with much 
affection. 

When you write tell me if you know where Eliza Thatcher 
and her brother lives. Tell me how Moses is doing and Simeon 
and everything you can think of. It will be interesting to hear 
from everybody and everything about you. I need not say that 
we think much of brother Buck and family. Do not forget to 
remember me with affection to Mr. and Mrs. Eoper and Dr. 
Tyler and family. A letter from any of them would be very 
acceptable. Wm. remembers you all yet but I think he remem- 
bers Ponto the dearest of any one. If Wright has not sold my 
cutter or rather if he has not sent the money as I directed tell 
him when he sells it he can send the money to Nelson at Madi- 
son. If he has no other opportunity it will do to send it by 
mail. 

Your Br. Wm. Chambeklin. 

The foregoing was addressed to 

Mr. Samuel S. Chamberlin, 

Gibson, 

Susquehannah Co., 

Pa. 

The following are extracts from another letter written by Mr. 
Chamberlin February 20, 1843, and addressed to his brother- 
in-law, John B. Buck of Gibson, Susquehannah Co., Penn. 

I rather conclude from the drift of your letter that you have 
the western fever about as bad as the rest of the family although 
you appear to charge them with it all. 

I am glad you have concluded to let Charles come out here. 
I think it was the best decision you could have made. In get- 
ting here much the larger part of the expense will be between 
your place and Pittsburg. There is not a canal all the way 
from the Susquehannah Eiver to Pittsburg as you seem to sup- 
pose. A considerable part of the way is railroad. The ex- 
pense of the journey will depend on his style of traveling, that 


WlLLIAM^S DIY., 1ST GEN. FROM MOSES 


235 


is, whether he travels as a gentleman or a common man. If he 
comes as a gentleman, he must go down your river to the canal 
and then take the canal and railroad or the stage to Pittsburg, — 
cost, probably, ten or twelve dollars or more. Then take a boat 
for St. Louis or Alton, if he can find one that is coming to or 
by Alton. He will take a cabin passage and have nothing to do 
but to eat and sleep until he gets to the end of hi's journey. 

When he gets to Alton, he is within four miles of this place. 
The expense from Pittsburg will depend , on circumstances. If 
the river is at a good state and several boats in port that are 
going to St. Louis, he will get a passage for from eight to fifteen 
dollars; but if there happens to be but one boat in port and the 
river not in a very good state it will cost him from fifteen to 
twenty-five dollars. 

“If he comes out as a common man, he must get to Pittsburg 
the best way he can, perhaps take his pack and come on foot; 
but I think he had better take the canal and railroad. When 
he gets to Pittsburg, he must put on his poorest clothes and take 
a deck passage. He must then find his own food and lodging. 
He will find such provisions as he will want right on the bank 
at every stopping place. The expense will, probably, be about 
half as much as a cabin passage. From St. Louis to Alton a 
boat runs daily. When he gets to Alton, he can walk out to my 
house — any one there, almost, can tell him where I live. If 
he can get a cabin passage from Pittsburg to St. Louis for 
twelve dollars I should advise him to take it in preference to a 
deck passage at half the price. From St. Louis to Alton the 
passage is $1.50. I would not advise him to take the northern 
route on any account. It would cost him more to get from 
Chicago here than it would from Pittsburg.’^ 

“ In regard to your other questions, I hardly know what to 
say. I wiU, however, state some things in general which will, 
perhaps, do for the present. A family would want about the 
same things here that they do there. Provisions are very low 
this year: corn, ten cents; wheat 30 to 37% and meal very low. 
Money is exceedingly scarce which makes labor and everything 
else low. I think if you were here you could find something to 
do ; but think it would take you several days to get rich.” 

“Should you conclude to come out this spring, come as light 
as you can. I have a cabin that you can fix with little expense 
to make your family comfortable until you can look about and 
see what is best to do. If you will come out here filled with the 
spirit of God you can do some good; but I charge you not to 


^36 THE WRIGHT-CEAMBEBLIN GENEALOGY 


COfme out here as some do and leave your religion behind. You 
will want as much of that commodity as you can bring.” 

This letter was made returnable to 

Kev. William Chamberlin, 
Godfrey, 

Madison Co., 111. 

While waiting in Carlinville, 111., for the affairs of the Chero- 
kees to be so far settled as to encourage further labor in their 
behalf, Mr. Chamberlin acted as agent for the Board in the 
northern part of the State until the last of May, 1840, when he 
went to Monticello, 111., and obtained an honorable and highly 
complimentary discharge from the American Board of Commis- 
sioners for Foreign Missions. About this time he was employed 
by the Home Missionary Committee (Eev^s T. Baldwin and A. 
T. Norton) of the Alton Presbytery. He began his labors about 
June 1, 1840, on a salary of $400 a year. From this time until 
his death his labors extended through all the counties of Illinois 
bordering on the Mississippi, the Ohio and the Wabash as far 
north as the northern boundary of Jersey County and many 
times through nearly all the interior counties. Of the twenty- 
five churches established during this time under the Alton Pres- 
bytery, he was directly and largely instrumental in establishing 
fourteen of them. 

At the meeting of the Presbytery held in April in 1845, he 
presented the following report of labor performed : 

" Since the last meeting of Presbytery, Oct. 1844, my labors 
as your Missionary have been extended over fourteen Afferent 
counties. I have preached in Madison county 11 times; in 
Bond, 13 times; in Fayette, 26 times; in Montgomery, twice; 
Effingham, 6 times; Macoupin, twice; Jasper, once; Lawrence, 
6 times; Wabash, 5 times; Edward, 5 times;' Wayne, once; Jef- 
ferson, four times; Marion, once and Clinton, once; in all 84 
times. I have held several meetings where I did not preach. 
In going to and from my appointments, I have traveled 1381 
miles, have everywhere been received with great apparent, cor- 
diality by the people and always invited to come again. My 
congregations have generally been solemn and attentive. But 
in a large part of my circuit, my course has been so much like 
a comet that whatever impression may have been made will soon 
fade away unless they are followed up.” 


WILLIAMS S DIV., 1ST GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 237 


After presenting his report to the Presbytery in session Oct. 
15, 1846, in which he described the necessity of missionary work 
in a certain part of the country where he had been laboring and 
earnestly nrged them to send, at least, four more missionaries 
into the field, he gave the following story as to Where is the 
greatest need ” : 

When I was in the Cherokee Nation, John Arch, a converted 
young Cherokee, one day called on me. He was an excellent 
interpreter and the Lord was just beginning to pour upon us a 
shower of divine grace. I urged him to come and labor with me 
for a few weeks, telling him that at that time it was the most 
important field in the nation. John burst into tears and said, 

‘ I do not know what to do. I want to do all that I can for 
God and for my people ; but when I go to Candys Creek, Brother 
Holland tells me that is the most important place; when I go 
to Talony, Brother Hall tells me that is the most important 
place; when I go to Hawer’s, Brother Ellsworth tells me that 
is the place ; when I go to Creek Path, Brother Potter says that 
is the most important place; and at Brainerd the brothers say 
that is the place and now you say this is the most important 
place. What shall I do?’ We wept together and John con- 
cluded to come and spend a few weeks with me. It will take an 
eternity to unfold the glorious results of his labors at that time.” 

In the early part of 1847, Mr. Chamberlin was detained at 
home by poor health until April 18th when he began a tour 
through Eztabrook’s and Paddock’s Prairies and to Bunkerhill 
and Woodbum which occupied ten days. On May 13th, he set 
out on a tour through the southern part of their field where he 
continued until Aug. 6th, laboring in eight different counties. 
By this time his eyes had become so affected that he was unable 
to read even his hymns or text. 

After remaining at home two or three weeks without gaining 
relief he went to St. Louis and remained six weeks under the 
treatment of Hr. VanZandt, an oculist. By this time his eyes 
were greatly improved though not wholly cured. Although so 
afflicted, he traveled 1342 miles and preached 39 times before 
the next meeting of the Presbytery. 

Mr. Chamberlin’s Last Keport of Labor to the Missionary 
Committee and the Alton Presbytery: 

Dear Brethren: In making out a report of labor performed 
under direction of Presbytery, I beg leave to state that, after 
returning from Synod, I was detained at home and in the vi- 


238 THE ^yEIGHT-CHAMBERLlN GENEALOGY 


cinity, by sickness and bad weather, between two and three 
weeks. 

On the 11th of November, I rode from St. Louis to Waterloo 
in a very hard rain — distance 24 miles. I was very cordially 
received by the people of Waterloo, especially by my good friend 
Elder Rogers. He is now in his 99th year. He was one of 
Gen. Washington’s life guards in the Revolutionary War. He 
is remarkably smart, tends his own garden, goes to meeting, 
and sometimes exhorts and even preaches. His mental facul- 
ties are still good and it is a rare treat to visit with him if but 
for a few hours. 

12 — Sabbath — I went to meeting at the Baptist meeting- 
house. A Baptist minister from Bellville was present and 
preached. In the afternoon it was so cold it was thought best 
to have no meeting, especially, as they had no good way to 
warm the house. At night we had a meeting at Elder Peters’. 
Father Rogers was present and we all took a part in the serv- 
ices. The old man’s remarks were remarkably appropriate. 

13 — I preached in the Baptist meeting-house at night. 

14 — I intended to have visited the settlement on the river 
bottom; but the streams were so high in that direction that I 
found it impossible to go there. I, therefore, set out for Lib- 
erty, in the lower part of Randolph county. I rode all day 
very hard and got forward on my journey but 23 miles. I 
was in a German settlement, where I could get no directions 
about the road. It was a cold day and I was very much af- 
flicted with the headache. I put up at night with a Catholic 
family. The pain in my head and face was so great that I 
could hold but little conversation with the people. I learned 
that they were from Bardstown, Ky. They appeared to be 
respectable people and treated me very kindly and charged a 
very low bill. 

15 — I rode to Liberty, 33 miles. I passed through Kas- 
kaskia, on my way. This is one of the oldest towns in the state. 
It is now in a wretched, dilapidated condition. I did not stop 
to speak to any person and do not know as there is any religion 
in the place. Suffered all day with the headache. Got to Lib- 
erty a little after dark. Stopped at Mr. Hinkley’s and told 
them I was going to stay there imtil I got better. They told 
me I might make it my home with them as long as I pleased. 
As soon as I got warm, commenced taking medicine. 

16 — Under the operation of medicine felt very disagreeable. 
Visited several of the neighbors. The people have been a long 


WILLIAWS DIV., 1ST GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 239 


time without preaching and although they have a very good 
house, have no way to warm it and cannot have a meeting in 
it as it is. I have told them they must fix some way to warm 
the house before the Sabbath, as I shall hope to be able to preach 
by that time. 

17 — I went to Mr. Eoss’. My health a little better. Bro. 
Bird and family came down the river on a steamboat and landed 
here about one o’clock in the night. They are on their way 
from Synod. 

18 — The people got a stove and pipe and fixed a way for 
warming the meeting-house. 

19 — Sabbath — I preached at eleven. We had a prayer 
meeting in the afternoon and Bro. Bird preached at night. 
Two persons arose to manifest their desire that Christians 
should pray for them. 

20 — Learned that one of the persons that arose last night 
for prayers is to-day rejoicing in hope. I preached at night. 
Just at meeting time there came up a storm which kept several 
people away ; but we had more hearers than we expected. Four 
persons arose for prayers. Still suffering very much with the 
headache. 

21 — I preached at night. There was a great deal of feel- 
ing manifested by the people. Nine persons rose for prayers. 

22 — Quite sick all day, though I was enabled to preach at 
night. Thirteen persons came forward and took a seat desig- 
nated for anxious persons. 

23 — We had an inquiry meeting at 2 o’clock. Several anx- 
ious persons attended. We had a very melting meeting. Bro. 
Bird preached at night and, although the rain was falling in 
torrents, the house was well filled with attentive hearers. 

24 — I preached at night.' After sermon fifteen persons took 
the seat designated for the anxious. When those who had a 
hope that they were bom again were requested to arise, eight 
or ten immediately stood up. One woman became very much 
excited. She addressed the people, especially the unconverted, 
with a great deal of feeling and propriety. She said she was 
a wonder to herself. One week ago, she said, I did not believe 
the Bible; but now I not only believe it but I feel the power 
of its truth in my own soul. She said she was planning to 
have a ball at her house on Christmas evening; and, said she, 
there are several persons now on the anxious seat that I in- 
tended to have had at my ball. But a few days ago, she would 
have been ashamed to let any body know that she thought any- 


240 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


thing about religion. Now, she wanted the whole world to 
know how she felt. She wanted to recommend her dear Savior 
to every body. She urged her friends aijd neighbors to come 
to Christ now. But, she said she knew what they would say 
about her, when they went home. She knew what she used 
to say about others; and now she was willing they should say 
what they pleased; but she could tell them that religion was a 
solemn reality. She talked in this strain, in a very animated 
manner for a half hour or more. 

25 — I have been very unwell all the week and to-day I was 
not able to go to meeting. Bro. Bird preached at night. The 
meeting was interesting. 

26 — Sabbath — A pleasant day and a full meeting. I 
preached at eleven and at night and assisted to administer the 
Sacrament in the afternoon. It was a precious day of Cod’s 
power. At night twenty persons came forward and occupied the 
seat designated for the anxious. 

27 — We thought best to close the meetings for the present. 
Bro. Bird will stay and visit from house to house this week 
and preach on the Sabbath. I rode to Vergennes. 

28 — A widow sent a request that I should visit her family, 
as her daughter, about four years old, died last night. Found 
a very distressed family. Bead a portion of Scripture; sang 
and prayed with them; then went to Duquoine and attended a 
wedding. Thus I went to the house of mourning and the house 
of feasting, both in one day. 

29 — Bro. Wood called and informed me that a messenger 
had been sent from Vergennes, to request him or myself to come 
and attend the funeral of the child that died night before last. 
I concluded to go. When I got about half way, it began to 
rain very fast and continued until night. It rained so hard that 
hut few people could attend the funeral. It was therefore 
thought best to have a short exercise now and a funeral sermon 
next Sabbath. Just as they had finished burying the child, a 
brother of the widow rode up with his family, from below Mur- 
physboro’. They had brought along with them the corpse of 
their youngest child, to deposit in the same graveyard. The 
children both died about the same hour; but neither of the fam- 
ilies knew of the death of the other, until they met at grave- 
yard. While the grave for the last child was digging, we retired 
to a house with the corpse, and had a short religious exercise, 
and then went and deposited the remains of the child by the 
side of its little cousin. 


\Y1LL1AM^8 DIV., IST GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 241 


30 — I rode to Duquoine. Heard Bro. Wood preach a 
thanksgiving sermon; then retired to one of the neighbors and 
took a thanksgiving supper. 

Dec. 1 — It snowed last night enough to whiten the ground. 
I set out for Murphysboro’. It stormed very hard all day. I 
stopped one mile and a half from Murphysboro^ The snow 
had fallen while I was on the road to the depth of one foot. 

2 — Kode to Murphysboro’. Gave out an appointment to 
preach to-morrow afternoon and at night. The Methodist cir- 
cuit rider is to occupy the forenoon. 

3 — Sabbath — Heard the circuit rider at eleven, and then 
preached at three and at night, according to appointment. The 
sickness that had been so long hanging about me has all gone 
into my leg. It has broke out in a running sore; my health, 
other-wise, is very good. My sore leg, however, prevents me 
from visiting from house to house. 

4 — The snow is going off very fast. I preached at night. 
There was quite a solemn assembly. 

5 — I rode out four or five miles and visited two parishes. 
It rained very hard. The circuit rider preached at night. 

6 — It was raining very hard ; but the people came to-gether 
at night and I preached. 

7 — A very hard rain just before night. A good congrega- 
tion, however was collected, and I preached. After sermon I 
asked those to arise who wished Christians to pray for them. 
Four persons arose and appeared deeply affected. 

8 — Our Methodist brother preached. He said that, by the 
fall, mankind had lost both their natural and moral ability to 
repent and believe; but God had given them a gracious ability, 
and now they have an Almighty ability to repent and believe 
and by doing this they bring themselves into the position where 
God will convert their souls ! ! ” 

9 — A very steady cold rain all day. We did not light up 
the house at night. Some persons, however called to see if 
there would be a meeting. 

10 — Sabbath — I preached at eleven and at night. The 
people were remarkably attentive. Some appeared deeply af- 
fected. Several arose to ask the prayers of Christians. 

11 — I set out for Eight Mile Prairie. Found the waters very 
high. I crossed the Muddy river in a ferry boat and went on 
15 miles and found one end of the bridge across Crab-Orchard 
floating and impassable. I turned back, therefore, and went 
five miles through the deep mud, and stayed at a house, where 


242 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBEELIN GENEALOGY 


they treated me with a great deal of kindness. The man and 
his wife both belong to the Baptist Church. Neither of them 
could read and they had no Bible in the house. They have two 
boys that are beginning to read a little. I read some tracts to 
them and gave a few to the boys. I urged them to purchase 
a Bible, as they are abundantly able. 

12 — I rode to Saratoga Springs. Preached at night. 

13 — Visited at several places. Called on one of the members 
of the church. She lives about three miles from the Springs. 
She and her sister are the only members that remain of the 
church. Her sister lives about three miles farther. I gave 
them both a letter to a Cumberland church in their vicinity — ■ 
the church at Western Saratoga is now no more. I returned to 
the Springs and preached at night. All the persons in the 
place, but one Catholic woman and her children, were present. 

14 — Went to Jonesboro’. Very muddy and bad traveling. 
Our Methodist brethren are to occupy the place on the Sabbath 
and I thought best to go on. 

15 — Bode to Eight Mile Prairie. When I got within a mile 
and a half of the settlement, I learned that the Crab-Orchardi 
Creek was past fording, and I had to go seven miles round, to 
a bridge, which threw me into the night before I reached a 
stopping place. 

16 — Gave out an appointment for preaching to-morrow. 

17 — Sabbath — Preached in a small school-house at eleven 
and at night. The house was well filled with hearers. I bap- 
tized two children of Bro. Henry’s. 

18 — Visited the members of the church. Found them in 
a cold state, but unwilling to die. They feel anxious to have 
preaching. I conversed with a young man and woman, who 
thought they experienced religion at the time of our protracted 
meeting here two or three years ago. They both continue to 
hope, although they have not attached themselves to any 
church. If we had preaching there, they would soon join the 
church. There may be others in the same situation, in the vi*- 
cinity; but most have joined the Baptists or Methodists. I 
rode to Bainbridge. Put up for the night at Dr. Owen’s. 

19 — Eode to Marion. The Methodist brethren are now hold- 
ing a protracted meeting here. They have several anxious per- 
sons attending. Bro. Hunt has an interesting school. He 
preaches here once in two weeks. 

20 — Eode to Six Mile Prairie. Found the bridge over Big 
Muddy in a very dangerous situation. I, however, succeeded 


WILLIAM^S DIY,, 1ST GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 243 


in getting over by taking my horse out of the buggy and tak- 
ing one at a time. It was a difficult job, and hindered me some 
time. I found considerable difficulty in getting a place to stay 
all night. The people were quite disposed to send me to their 
next neighbor. About 9 o’clock, however, I came to a place 
where they took me in and treated me very kindly. 

21 — The ground and trees this morning are covered with 
ice. It is still raining and turning to ice as fast as it falls. 
If I had not got across the bridge over Muddy river yesterday, 
it would have been impossible to have crossed to-day. I have 
worked very hard all day and got to Duquoine, 4% miles from 
where I started in the morning. Found, here, a letter from 
my wife. This is the first word I have had from them since 
I left home. 

22 — I got up my horse to go on my journey, intending to 
spend the Sabbath at Pinkney^^le, but found that he had lost 
one half of a shoe, and the state of the ground was such that 
he could not travel and as I could not get him shod until Mon- 
day, I found myself obliged to spend the Sabbath here. Heard 
the Methodist circuit rider preach. 

24 — ■ Sabbath — The circuit rider preached at eleven and I 
preached at night. 

25 — Bro. Wood, a brother of the preacher, shod my horse 
and mended the spring of my buggy, which I found had en- 
tirely failed. I took Christmas supper at Mr. Sprague’s. 

26 — Bode to Mr. Graham’s, near Pinkneyville. Very bad 
traveling. 

30 — During the last four days I have succeeded in getting 
along about 90 miles and, through the good hand, of my God 
upon me I have arrived at home and foimd my family enjoy- 
ing their usual health. 

Eespectfully submitted, 

Wm. Chamberlin. 

Monticello, Jan. 1849. 

In the last part of February, 1849, Mr. Chamberlin started 
for Vandalia and proceeded as far as Alton, where Eevs. N". H. 
Hall and A. T. Norton were holding protracted meetings, but 
finding the roads in a dreadful condition he concluded to re- 
main there and help in the meetings. He addressed himself 
to the work with even more than his ordinary zeal. Besides 
taking part in the public meetings, he visited from house to 
house, conversing and praying incessantly. 


244 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


On Monday night, March 12th, he preached a clear, animated 
and practical sermon from John 14:6 — ^^No man cometh unto 
the Father hut by me/’ It was his last sermon. On Tuesday 
night he was in the pulpit and led in the first prayer. After 
services he went home with Eev. A. T. ^N'orton, pastor of the 
church, and complained of being very ill. Although getting 
some relief before 11 o’clock, when all retired, he was worse by 
midnight and called his host who summoned the family doc- 
tor. All was done for his relief that could be but to no avail. 
He died Wednesday, March 14th (1849), at half past 4 p. m. 
and was buried at Monticello, 111. Hi's wife arrived about half 
an hour after he expired. 

Many recognized him as their spiritual leader and some called 
him Father Chamberlin.” 

At the time of his death five of his children were yet in 
school. His home was in Godfrey, Madison Co., Illinois, where 
his widow remained for several years afterward. She then re- 
moved to Alton, 111., and later to St. Louis. But when her 
children were grown up and married she broke up housekeeping 
and lived with them until her death in November, 1886.

WILLIAM’S DIY., 2D GEN. FROM MOSES ^ 245 


subject came with his mother from the Cherokee 
Nation in northern Alabama to Gibson, Susque- 
hanna Co., Penn., with a horse and wagon. He 
became a minister and joined the Cherokees in their 
new home (Indian Territory) as a missionary and 
spent the remainder of his life with them. He wrote 
several books, translating their language into Eng- 
lish. Mrs. C. died July 21, 1894. He died July 4, 
1894. Family 2, next gen. 

3 m. Annie Lydia, born at the first Mission Station in north- 
ern Alabama, then called Will’s Valley, December 
16, 1830; married, September 25, 1860, Dr. George 
Fielding Peery, born in Abbs Valley, Tazewell Co., 
Va., October 10, 1830; went to Missouri with his 
father in 1836, and located in Grundy County. 
While yet a lad he was stricken with a long attack 
of illness, the result of which was that he was ever 
afterward very lame. Thus rendered unfit for farm 
work his active, alert mind naturally turned to books 
and a profession. He chose that of medicine and 
received his education at the Missouri Medical Col- 
lege at St. Louis. He being the son of a farmer 
in a frontier settlement and one of eighteen chil- 
dren his education and preparation for his profes- 
sion were procured, largely, by his own efforts. 
They removed to Albany, Missouri, in 1864, where 
he died February 12, 1906. She died February 17, 
1907. 

The writer of his obituary notice, printed in the 
Albany Capital (newspaper), February 15, 1906, 
says in part: 

^‘His affection for his family and kindred was 
proverbial; and among that numerous company of 
near relatives who wept over his bier to-day, there 
were some for whom he had abandoned his business 
and traveled hundreds of miles and spent weeks and 
months of valuable time, to minister to them in sick- 
ness. Of all that host of immediate kinsmen whom 
he leaves behind, there is scarcely one who does not 
owe him a debt of gratitude for life preserved or 
kindly service given in the hour of bodily af- 
fliction. And that this debt is acknowledged by

them was attested when they stood by scores about 
his casket, strong men and women, weeping the tears 
of heartfelt sorrow at their common loss/^ 

Perhaps no better evidence of the kindness and 
goodness of a man^s heart can be found than in his 
intercourse with and treatment of children.” 

Since my earliest recollection, I have observed his 
intercourse with little ones and I never yet saw a 
child who did not love him. But it was in his home 
life that his character shown brightest and best. 
He married in September, 1860, Annie L. Cham- 
berlin. Their only child, a lovely little girl, died 
more than forty years ago. Her loss seemed to 
draw them closer together in the bonds of common 
sympathy and love. To those who. have seen, 
through all these years, the tender care, the lover- 
like solicitude with which he watched over the wife 
of his youth, there could be no brighter example 
of ^ wedded life or wedded love ^ than we have seen 
in this pair as they have gone hand in hand for 
forty-five years. Since the heavy hand of disease 
(cancer) was laid upon her more than a year ago, 
he has scarcely left her side. And who of us who 
were present at that last night and day, can forget 
the long weary hours which she spent by his un- 
conscious side, though herself suffering intense 
physical pain.” 

His was a life full of useful labors, full of kind- 
ness and sacrifice for others, and the world is bet- 
ter for his having lived in it.” Shall not we, of 
the younger generation, honor ourselves by rever- 
ing their memory, and teaching our children to 
emulate their virtues.” Family 3, next gen.

In answer to an invitation sent them by the Sec- 
retary, to attend the annual gathering of the de- 
scendants of Wright Chamberlin, Sr., in 1901, Mr. 
Grimes sent the following letter, dated August 14, 
1901: 

''Dear Friends: 

It is with sorrow that I have to tell you my 
beloved wife, Maria, will meet no more with you 
on earth. She was called away by death September 
13, last (1900) in her 80th year. I am in my 87th 
year, health poor, cannot labor, yet feel an inter- 
est in reforms which will give equal rights and hap- 
piness to all. 

Maria had paralysis, her end was peace, — was 
asked how she felt in her mind. She replied by 
quoting two verses of the 23d Psalm: ‘The Lord 
is my shepherd, I shall not want,’ etc. She has gone 
to receive a heavenly reward and yet it is hard to 
part with our dear friends although prepared for a 
better world than this, where sin and sorrow, pain 
and death never enter. 

I hope your meeting will be an interesting one. 

“ Then meet each year, each soul to cheer, 

Throughout our earthly toil and care. 

But when from earth are called away. 

May meet our friends in endless day.” 

“ Oh, glorious day ! Oh, blessed hope ! 

My heart leaps forward at the thought. 

When in that happy, happy land. 

We’ll no more take the parting hand.”

of Cressona, Schuylkill Co._, Penn., a position he held 
three years, when he was elected Superintendent of 
schools in the town of Ashland, Penn. 

In April, 1866, he was called to the chair of Eng- 
lish literature, rhetoric and grammar in the State 
Normal School at Kutztown, Penn., where he re- 
mained until the fall of 1868, when he accepted the 
principalship of the Lock Haven public schools, with 
the view of establishing a State Normal School in 
that city. In 1869, he reorganized the schools of 
Lock Haven and was made city superintendent, a 
position he held three years. When the Normal 
School was opened in Lock Haven, September 17, 
1877, Dr. A. N. Eaub was elected its first princi- 
pal, which position he held until the close of the 
summer session of 1884. He spent the next year 
in revising his numerous text books. In the fall 
of 1885, he was called to the principalship of the 
Academy of Newark, Del., an institution chartered 
by the Penns in 1767. He accepted the presidency 
of Delaware College in the same town in June, 1888, 
a position which made him also ex-officio President 
of the State Board of Education of Delaware. He 
was serving as president of this college at the time 
of his death at a salary of $3,000 per year, having 
aided in its growth from an attendance of less than 
twenty until it numbered more than a hundred stu- 
dents. 

Since leaving the State Normal School of Lock 
Haven, he has published and edited a weekly educa- 
cational joumel, The Educational News, with the 
main office in Philadelphia. During his term as 
principal of the Lock Haven Normal School, which 
extended over a period of seven years, he graduated 
from the institution three hundred and sixteen per- 
sons, several of his classes being the largest ever 
graduated from any normal school in the United 
States. 

In connection with his work as a teacher, he has 
gained an enviable reputation as a writer and pub- 
lisher. In 1860, he published two spellers. In 
1865, he wrote and published a work entitled Plain

PAET THIRD 

EICHAKD" AND ABIGAIL® (WEIGHT) CHAMBEELIN 

and 

THEIE DESCENDANTS 

EICHAED,* eldest son of Nathaniel * and EHzabeth (Hun- 
kins) Chamberlin, was born at Oxford, Massachusetts, 9 July, 
1714; lived at Northfield, Mass., from 1731 to 1753. (Part 
First, Branch I, 3d Ancestral Family.) In 1744 he helped to 
build Deacon Ebenezer Alexander’s “ mound ” or fort, receiving 
from the town of Northfield 16 shillings for two days’ work. 
He was in Captain Phinehas Stevens’ company of sixty men gar- 
risoned at ‘^Number 4” (Charlestown, N. H.) withstanding a 
desperate siege by the French and Indians under one Debeline 
in 1747; also in Captain Salah Barnard’s Co., Colonel William 
Williams’ regiment for the reduction of Canada 13 March to 
13 December, 1758, with his son Abiel. 

He lived in Hinsdale, New Hampshire (the town adjoining 
Northfield and formerly a part of it), in 1755, and removed to 
Newbury, Vermont, in 1762. Wells* History of Newbury, from 
which some of this record is taken, says : In June, 1762, came 
up Eichard Chamberlin from Hinsdale (N. H.) with a family of 
thirteen children. Seven only, came with the parents, the rest 
afterwards. Eichard and family landed about noon at the old 
ferry. Before night a hut of posts, bark, etc., was erected, in 
which they lived three months. A large stump in the middle, 
covered with a board, served for a table. He settled upon 
Musquash meadow and kept a ferry between Newbury (Yt.) and 
Haverhill (N. H.) for many years.” 

By a vote of the town, 18 May, 1773, he was given charge of 
the ferry which is by his house across Connecticut Eiver ” he 
to receive the profits for ferrying, three coppers for man and 
horse, and one copper for a man alone, and allowing the use of 
his boat on the Sabbath for Newbury and Haverhill to pass and 
repass to the public worship of God, the boat being made good. 


BICEARD* CHAMBERLIN 


273 


After him his sons kept the ferry until the bridge was built in 
1796. 

One of his daughters, who had crossed the river in her 
father’s boat one day, returned in the dusk of the evening. 
After pushing the boat into the stream, she found that an animal 
in the further end of the boat which she had supposed to be a 
dog, was a young bear. The girl screamed and the bear leaped 
over the side of the boat and disappeared with a great splash. 
Which of the two, the girl or the bear, was the most frightened 
is not known. 

The history, in comparing the early conditions at Newbury 
with the present says: "Could we return for an hour to the 
primitive life at Newbury, one hundred and thirty-eight years 
ago, we would find little to remind us of the present aspect of 
the scene. The Connecticut flowed through a dense forest, 
broken here and there by Indian clearings of a few acres of ex- 
tent. A heavy growth of pines covered the plain on which New- 
bury village now stands. Moosilauke overlooked a mighty forest 
which stretched away as far as the eye could reach ; but a closer 
observation would discern tokens of a coming change. The 
sound of the settler’s axe was heard by the river bank. In a 
few places, a rude trail, the precursor of the present river road, 
wound through the woods. The sun shone into new clearings 
here and there, and the smoke from a few log dwellings rose in 
the primeval forest, for the settlers had come. What was there 
here for that handful of adventurers in the Cobs country in that 
far off winter of 1762-63? What was their manner of life in 
the rude huts which only partially sheltered them from the 
northern blasts ? When we remember that there were no roads, 
no schools, no churches ; that there was no physician nearer than 
Canterbury or Charlestown (N. H.) ; that there was no habita- 
tion of white men within sixty miles of them; that the woods 
were full of savage beasts, and that the dread of the Indians 
had by no means passed away we wonder how the people endured 
it. One of the sons of Kichard Chamberlin related in his old 
age that they seldom arose in the mornings of that long winter 
without seeing the tracks of bears and wolves in the snow around 
their cabin on Musquash meadow. Few of the cabins had doors, 
for as yet there was no sawmill, but a coverlid suspended over 
the entrance kept out some of the cold. Sometimes wolves would 
lift this curtain and thrust in their heads. The cattle had to be 
shut in pens built strongly enough to resist the attacks of bears. 
Yet the people seemed to have got through the winter very well. 


274 THE WBWET-CEAMBEELIN GENEALOGY 


No one died and we do not know that any went back in the 
spring disheartened to the older settlements. The men worked 
hard at healthy, vigorous labor in the open air, chopping and 
clearing land and hunting. They seemed to have had plenty 
of food ; they were all young and took their privations as a mat- 
ter of course. Eichard Chamberlin was the only man past forty- 
five and he was accustomed to pioneer life. 

Eichard Chamberlin, as well as his sons Joseph and Abiel 
was one of the origin^ grantees of the town of Newbury, by 
deed from Governor Benning Wentworth of New Hampshire, 
18 March, 1763. Eichard with other Grantees, signed in April, 
1768, a deed of land in Newbury to Benjamin Whiting, and 
the following is a facsimile of his signature to that instrument, 
the original of which is preserved by the New England His- 
toric Genealogical Society: 

The first local town meeting of Newbury was held at General 
Bayley’s house on June 12, 1764, at which Eichard Chamberlin 
and Simeon Stevens were chosen as tything-men, a sort of local 
police whose duties were to inspect taverns, keep an eye upon 
strangers and suspicious persons and they could arrest without 
a warrant, offenders against the law. It was their duty to de- 
tain travelers upon the highway on the Sabbath and keep order 
in public assemblies, particularly in the meeting-house on the 
Lord’s Day. When on duty, they carried a wand or staff five 
feet long. A number of duties which are now performed by 
other officers were then attended to by the tything-men. This 
office was considered very important and only the most staid and 
substantial citizens were elected to it. They usually held the 
office several years in succession. 

At the age of sixty-one Eichard Chamberlin was a member of 
the first company of Minute-men organized by Captain Thomas 
Johnson in Newbury for service in the Ee volutionary War; but 
probably did not see actual service. Six of his sons, Joseph 
(Second Lieutenant), Abiel, Er, Nathaniel, Silas, and Eichard, 
Jr., went with Captain Johnson’s company to Saratoga in 1775. 

He married Abigail,® daughter of Eemembrance * Wright, 
born April 27, 1719, who was one of the earliest members of the 
Congregational church of Newbury. She survived her husband 


RICHARD * CHAMBERLIN

several years, as she is mentioned as late as 1795 in Dr. Samuel 
White’s account book as Widow Richard Chamberlin,” but the 

date of her death is unknown. He died at Newbury 16 ^ber, 

1784, and was buried in the cemetery there, where his grave- 
stone may still be seen. 

Their children were:

of her.

X. Silas,® born 19 January, 1754. Of him, all that is known 
is that he was one of the three young men who started 
for Cambridge, Mass., in the night that the news of the 
battle of Lexington reached Newbury, and served in the 
battle of Bunker Hill. He also served during most of 
the war. He later settled at Wells River, Vt., where he

and enlisted in Co. H, 12th Vermont Volunteers, 
of which company he became 1st Sergeant and Or- 
derly Sergeant. When his term of service with his 
regiment had expired, he went to Milwaukee, Wis., 
where he went out as Captain of Co. I, 39th Wis- 
consin Volunteers. Leaving the service in 1864, 
he became City Editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, 
and from that time forward, followed the career 
of a journalist and writer. 

In 1868, he went to Chicago to join the staff of 
the Evening Post of that city, on which journal he 
gained a wide reputation through the wit and pun- 
gency of his paragraph writing and the excellence 
of critical judgment especially in music. He after- 
wards joined the staff of the Chicago Tribune as 
editorial writer, and later, the staff of the Chicago 
Times. In 1873, he was compelled by delicate 
health to relinquish all editorial work. Went to 
California, Colorado and Florida in quest of health

was taken by his parents to Wisconsin in Septem- 
ber of 1857 and educated in the common schools 
there. Went to Chicago in December, 1868, and 
went to work on the Evening Post (newspaper). 
Here he served until after the great Chicago fire 
of 1871, when he was for a brief time, city editor 
of the Daily Journal of Indianapolis, Ind. Eetum- 
ing to Chicago, he served in various editorial capaci- 
ties on the Chicago Times from 1871 to end of 
1880 when broken down in health by overwork, he 
resigned the managing editorship of that paper to 
return to the East. 

From 1881 to 1884, he was editor of papers in 
Newport, K. I. and Fall Elver, Mass. In 1884, he 
went to Boston and was editor of the Boston Even- 
ing Record and Boston Daily Advertiser of that city 
until 1887, when he went to the Boston Transcript. 
In 1890, he became one of the editorial staff of the 
Youth's Companion, with which paper as well as 
with the Boston Transcript he remained for sev- 
eral years. In 1898, he went to the Spanish War 
as correspondent of the New York Evening Post 
and Youth's Companion, and went through the San- 
tiago campaign. Became editor of the New York 
Mail and Express in 1902. 

He is the author of three books : “ The Listener 
in the Town,” The Listener in the Country ” 
(Boston, 1896), and “John Brown,” a biography 
(Boston, 1899). The two former books are made 
up out of the Listener series of essays in the Bos- 
ton Transcript which Mr. Chamberlin founded in 
1887 and still wrote in 1900. He is a member of 
the “ St. Botolph Club ” and of the “ Authors 
Club ” of Boston. He is also a member of the 
“ New England Historic Genealogical Society ” and 
prepared at Boston, in 1894, a statement of the 
“Line of Descent” of his branch of the Chamber- 
lin Family, which has furnished much valuable an- 
cestral information for this record.

watch to Abiel Chamberlin in March, 1763. The watches of 
those days were called ‘ Bulls eyes ’ and had two cases, an outer 
and an inner case, which were detachable.”

URIAH® CHAMBERLIN AND DESCENDANTS 

URIAH,® third son and fourth child of Richard^ Chamber- 
lin [Nathaniel,® Joseph,® Richard^] and his wife, Abigail® 
(Wright) [Remembrance,* Benjamin,® Serg. Samuel,® Dea. 
SamueU], born February 24, 1742; settled in Newbury, Vt., 
his pitch” being Lot 9 on Musquash Meadow. He served 
during a large part of the Revolutionary War, his name being 
on the Pay Roll of a company of Minute-men from Newbury, 
in the service of the country in the year 1775, under command 
of Capt. Thomas Johnson; on a Muster Roll of Capt. John G. 
Bayley’s company for guarding and scouting, from April, 1777, 
to March 6, 1779; on Pay Roll of Capt. Simeon Stevens’ com- 
pany in Newbury, from May, 1779, to May, 1781, service done 
in guarding and scouting, in sundry alarms, guarding prison- 
ers, etc., .under the command of Col. Peter Olcott ; and on Pay 
Roll of Capt. Frye Bayley’s company in Newbury from May, 
1781, till end of the war. 

But very little has been learned of his after life or of his 
descendants. He is said to have settled in the northern part 
of Ryegate, Vt., or, at least to have lived there several years 
after 1785. In 1808, he owned a 50-acre lot on Upper Meadow 
(Newbury, Vt.), which he sold to Asa Tenny. He is given as 
head of a family in the Newbury census of 1771 and the church 
records mention the baptism of a son, James, February 20, 
1785. It is supposed that some of the numerous Chamberlin 
families in the northern part of Vermont are his descendants. 

The record of the Ephraim Bayley family given in Wells* 
History of Newhury, Vt., says that Jacob, son of Ephraim and 
Hannah (Fowler) Bayley, born March 9, 1769, married Han- 
nah,^ daughter of Uriah® and Rachael (Colby) Chamberlin, 
born March 4, 1773; lived in North Haverhill and Littleton, 
N. H., but died in the West. She died July 6, 1842.

ER® CHAMBERLIN AND DESCENDANTS 

ER,® fourth son and fifth child of Richard * Chamberlin 
[Nathaniel/ Joseph/ Richard^] and his wife, Abigail® 
(Wright) [Remembrance, Benjamin,® Serg. Samuel,® Dea. 
SamueD], bom June 24, 1744; went to Newbury, Vt., in the 
fall of 1762, he with others, making their way by spotted tress/^ 
He served in the Revolutionary War, in local service. About 
1770, he moved to Wells River, Vt. ; was the first settler there, 
where he built a saw-mill, a" grist-mill, and a blacksmith shop. 
He began keeping a ferry across Connecticut river about 1778 
and kept it till the bridge was built. Of this bridge. Wells 
History of Newhury, Vt., says: 

The second charter for a bridge at Wells River was ap- 
proved December 27, 1803. The incorporators were : Er Cham- 
berlin, Ezekiel Ladd, James Whitelaw, Moses Little, Amos 
Kimball, William Abbott and their associates. The charter 
granted to Colonel Porter having lapsed, the new enterprise 
was given the privileges which had belonged to that one. It 
was to be placed where Er Chamberlin had kept a ferry for 
about twenty-five years. One share in the bridge was reserved 
to the latter, to recompense him for the loss of his ferry, and 
the right to maintain one reverted to him upon the discontinu- 
ance of the bridge.^^ 

This bridge was built in 1805 and stood below the present 
one, and above the mouth of Wells River, ^ at the ledge of rocks.^ 
The records of the WeUs River Bridge Corporation show that 
in 1806, the shares of the bridge sold at their par value of fifty 
dollars, which proves that it was profitable. The rates of toll 
as fixed by the charter were: For each foot passenger, one 
cent; for a horse and rider, three cents; each chaise or two- 
wheeled carriage drawn by one horse, ten cents; one-horse 
wagon or cart drawn by one beast, eight cents; by two beasts. 


370 THE WRIGHT-GHAMBEBLIN GENEALOGY 


ten cents ; each four-wheeled carriage or coach, twenty-five cents ; 
and two cents for each horse more than two; two cents for 
each animal, except sheep and swine which were one cent each.’^ 
In the spring of 1807, this bridge was carried away and was 
rebuilt in that year. Between 1807 and 1812, when it was 
again carried away, it underwent considerable repairs. From 
1812 to 1820, there was no bridge and the ferry was conducted 
as before, by Chamberlin, who in 1817, conveyed all his rights 
therein to John L. Woods.^^ 

Mr. Chamberlin bought of the widow of Governor Went- 
worth, her share in the ‘^Governor’s farm” (500 acres). His 
first house stood a little above the mouth of Wells River. About 
1808, he removed to Ryegate and bought a farm in the east 
part of the town where he lived till his death. He was twice 
married; was head of a family in 1771; his second wife was a 
Wright. He died about 1830 and with his second wife is bur- 
ied in the “Whitelaw Cemetery,” Ryegate, Vt. 

There were nine children by each marriage but their names 
are not known.

The History of Newbury, Vt., in speaking of the bridges ^ 

across the Connecticut River at that place, says : “ The jour- I 

nal of the New Hampshire House of Representatives for the ^ 
session of 1794 states that among the business brought before | 

the House on December 30, was the following : ‘ Whereas Ben- | 

jamin Chamberlin of Newbury, Vermont, proposes building a J 
bridge over Connecticut River at or near the place where he j' 

and his father have kept a ferry ever since the settlement of « 

the town, which is the best and oldest road for passing between 7 

the states to the north and Canada, prays to be allowed to build I 

and tend said bridge for toll.^ ” The subscriptions on the |

REBECCA « CHAMBERLIN-FOREMAN and 
DESCENDANTS 

REBECCA,® second daughter and eighth child of Richard^ 
Chamberlin [Nathaniel,^ Joseph,^ Richard^] and his wife, Abi- 
gail ® (Wright) [Remembrance,^ Benjamin,® Serg. Samuel,^ 
Dea. Samuel^], born in Northfield, Mass., March 13, 1749; 
went to Newbury, Vt., with her parents in 1762; married, in 
1764, John Foreman, born in Maryland, on the estate near Bod- 
kin Bay and fourteen miles north of Annapolis, where three 
generations of his paternal forefathers (Joseph, William, and 
Robert, who came from England in 1674) had lived, on Septem- 
ber 16, 1739. In the year 1756, he entered the British Army as 
a volunteer, for the war,’^ then being waged by the English 
against the French colonists in North Ajnerica. He went from 
Maryland to New York, thence up the Hudson, and through the 
wildernesSj by the way of the Mohawk, Oneida Lake and Oswego 
River, to Oswego, and in the last year of the war, 1760, down 
the St. Lawrence to Montreal, and later to Three Rivers. 

In 1763, having been retained in the service nearly three 
years after he was entitled to his discharge, he, with two other 
volunteers, left the army at Three Rivers, without leave,” and 
made their way through forests to the colony of New Hampshire. 
They were lost and wandered in the wilderness six months, sub- 
sisting by hunting and such fruits and roots as they could ob- 
tain. At one time they came so near starvation that they sat 
down on a log to cast lots to determine which of the three famish- 
ing men should be food for the others. While thus occupied, a 
moose and two calves came in sight. They secured the mother 
and one calf, and were thus relieved from their desperate situ- 
ation. They remained at this place a number of days to recover 
their strength and dry their meat. They had with them a small 
amount of silver money which, in their weak condition, became 
a burden and was buried.

396 THE WRIGHT-CHAMBERLIN GENEALOGY 


Some time afterward, they came to the Connecticut River, or 
one of its tributaries, which they followed down stream for many 
days, finally came to an open place covered with grass, where a 
horse was feeding. This gave the name to Horse Meadow ” 
in Haverhill, N. H. Supposing the horse had strayed, they 
shot it for food. Starting again on their journey the next morn- 
ing, they soon discovered smoke on the Oxbow at Newbury, Vt. 
Having met an Indian a few days before, the only human being 
they had seen since leaving the vicinity of Three Rivers, and 
fearing they were near an Indian village, one of the men cau- 
tiously crossed the river to reconnoiter. He soon returned ac- 
companied by white settlers to the relief and great joy of his 
comrades. The owner demanded payment for his horse, and the 
men gave one or more of their guns in settlement of his claim; 
but the settlers, on learning the facts, raised by subscription a 
sum to satisfy him, and returned the guns. The gun of John 
Foreman is said to have been carried by Silas Chamberlin, one 
of his brothers-in-law at the battle of Bunker Hill. 

John Foreman served in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Bar- 
ron’s Co. of Bedel’s regiment ; was also employed, on account of 
his knowledge of the French language, in special service in Can- 
ada, particularly to visit the settlements along the St. Francis 
and the St. Lawrence with a scouting party in 1779 and 1780. 
He remained in Newbury until 1771, when he settled in Bath, 
N. H., on what is known as the William Abbott farm, at the 
mouth of the Ammonoosuc, opposite the present village of 
Woodsville, where he resided until his death in 1792. In 1801, 
his widow went with her son, John, to Augusta, Oneida Co., 
N. Y. ; was a vigorous lady as late as 1820-21, at which time she 
was living with her son Moody in the adjoining town of Vernon, 
where she died soon afterwards. 

At the time of the death of John Foreman, Sr., the family 
name was changed to Farman, for what reason is unknown. 
Some of the sons who had previously held town offices under the 
name of Foreman, afterwards held, in the same town, the sam^ 
positions under the name of Farman.

Oswego. He married, 1st, Ruth Turner; 2d, Abiah,
